| Reverse description | Plain hammered gold reverse featuring a raised inner square border surrounding the central square perforation, with the remainder of the field left largely blank. A small stylised omodaka (arrowhead plant, Sagittaria trifolia) motif is lightly struck in the upper field above the square hole, serving as the sole decorative element and acting as a mint or workshop mark. The broad, plain rim and generally flat, unadorned field are characteristic of Japanese hammered gold coinage of the late sixteenth century. |
