| Reverse description | Central square hole framed by a raised square border, surrounded by six Chinese characters arranged radially in the field, reading clockwise from the top. The characters, rendered in an archaic semi-cursive style, convey the denomination and issuing authority in the tradition of East Asian cash coinage. The plain field between the legend and the rim is unadorned. |
