| Obverse description | Two Chinese seal-script characters arranged vertically, reading from right to left, positioned on either side of the central square hole. The characters, reading 豐貨 (Feng Huo, meaning 'Coin of Abundance'), are rendered in a bold, archaic style with no outer rim present. The flat field shows natural casting texture consistent with early fourth-century Chinese bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | Plain, uniface reverse with no inscription, decoration, or rim. The central square hole is cleanly cast and the flat field displays a smooth, unadorned surface with natural patination consistent with aged bronze. The absence of any design or legend is characteristic of this early Later Zhao issue. |
