| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin of the Liu Song Dynasty, presenting the two-character inscription 五銖 (Wu Zhu) reading from right to left in relief across the central field, flanking the square central perforation. The characters are rendered in seal-script style, with the character 五 to the right and 銖 to the left of the square hole. A raised inner rim borders the central perforation, and a plain outer rim frames the coin. The surfaces exhibit a characteristic patina of malachite green with areas of reddish-brown corrosion consistent with age and burial. The overall fabric is typical of Southern Dynasties cast coinage, with broad, flat fields and bold, slightly worn relief lettering. |
