| Obverse description | Circular cast bronze disc with a central round perforation, bearing four archaic Chinese seal-script characters arranged around the hole in the field. The inscription reads 長垣一斤 (Chang Yuan Yi Jin), denoting the place name Chang Yuan and the weight denomination of one Jin. The characters are rendered in the angular, linear style typical of Warring States period bronze coinage, cast in relief against an otherwise unadorned, flat field. The surface displays a coarse, granular texture characteristic of sand-cast production, with extensive green and brown patination consistent with ancient burial. No rim decoration or border elements are present. |
