| Reverse description | The field displays a bold, prominently raised kanji character 宝 (Hō, abbreviation for the Hōei era, 1704–1711) rendered in the cursive calligraphic style characteristic of Edo-period silver coinage. The character occupies the central field in high relief against a finely cross-hatched or lined ground pattern, which was applied to the surface of the planchet prior to striking as a hallmark authentication device. The overall execution reflects the hand-worked nature of mameitagin production, with slight irregularities consistent with the hammered technique. |
