| Reverse description | The reverse presents a largely plain, unadorned convex surface produced by the casting process, with no intentional design elements or inscriptions. The surface exhibits the characteristic luster and irregular texture of cast billon, with natural flow lines and minor surface variations resulting from the molten metal cooling in the mold. A small number of faint incidental marks may be observed, attributable to handling and circulation rather than deliberate stamping. The absence of any official stamps or legends on this side is consistent with standard Edo-period chōgin production practice, where all authentication marks were confined to the obverse. |
