Reverse description Plain hammered gold field with the same characteristic horizontal ridged texture as the obverse. A single small Gotō kiri mon stamp is impressed near the upper center of the field. In the lower portion, a partially visible ink calligraphy inscription appears at lower left, comprising what appears to be an additional authenticating signature or date notation. The reverse bears minimal ornamentation, consistent with standard Keichō Ōban production practice, relying on the Gotō mon and calligraphy for official validation.
