| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring a central square hole framed by a raised inner rim. Two Chinese seal-script characters occupy the left and right fields flanking the central perforation, reading from right to left. The outer rim is raised and well-defined. The coin displays the characteristic archaic seal script (zhuanshu) style typical of Wang Mang-era coinage, with each character finely rendered in the field. |
