Reverse description Plain, concave reverse displaying the characteristic deep square cavity at the centre, a structural consequence of the casting process used to produce these tampang hat coins. The reverse field is entirely unadorned, with rough, uneven tin surfaces reflecting the simple sand- or clay-mould casting technique employed. The stepped pyramidal form visible in profile is most apparent from this side, with the recessed void formed as molten tin contracted around the mould core during cooling.
