| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin of circular form with a large central square perforation, the field bearing four Chinese seal script (zhuan shu) characters arranged in cruciform fashion around the square hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left as 定平一百 (Ding Ping Yi Bai, meaning 'Established Equal One Hundred Cash'). The characters are rendered in the archaic seal script style typical of Shu Han currency, with raised legends on a plain, unraised field. The coin displays an outer rim and an inner raised square rim bordering the central perforation, consistent with late-period Shu Han casting practice. |
