| Reverse description | Entirely plain and uninscribed, with a smooth, flat field traversed only by natural casting marks and the circular perforation at center. No rim inscription, mint mark, or decorative element is present on this face, confirming the uniface character of this large-module issue. The surface displays an even, aged patina consistent with cast bronze of the Northern Song period. |
