| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin with a central square hole flanked by four Chinese seal-script (Zhuanshu) ideograms arranged radially in the four cardinal positions around the perforation, reading clockwise: 小泉直一 (Xiao Quan Zhi Yi, meaning 'Small Coin, Value One'). The characters are rendered in raised relief within plain inner and outer rims. The field surface exhibits the characteristic flat, unadorned style of Wang Mang-era coinage, with no additional decorative elements. |
