| Reverse description | Plain hammered gold field with horizontal ribbing across the entire oval surface, showing the characteristic texture produced by the kogane-za workshop finishing process. Three small oval seal impressions are applied along the vertical axis of the field: one kikumon stamp near the upper center and two cursive ink seals below it, representing the personal authentication marks (rakkan) of the Goto assay master responsible for certifying the piece. A small brushed ink inscription appears in the lower left corner, recording the assayer's attestation. The reverse is notably plainer than the obverse, with the ribbed ground visible throughout. |
