| Obverse description | Two Chinese characters reading right to left, arranged in the upper and lower fields flanking the central square hole, rendered in archaic clerical script. The legend reads 'Han Xing' (漢興), meaning 'Han Flourishing' or 'Han Rising,' cast in low relief against an unadorned flat field. The characters exhibit the characteristic angular casting style typical of Five Dynasties period spade and cash coinage. No rim decoration or additional ornamental elements are present. |

| Reverse description | Plain uniface reverse, entirely blank and devoid of any inscription, design, or decorative element. The surface shows the typical rough cast texture associated with Chinese cash coinage of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, with a flat, unadorned field surrounding the central square hole. Heavy patination with green and brown corrosion layers is consistent with the age and bronze composition of the piece. |
