Obverse description Four archaic Zhuan (Seal Script) Chinese characters arranged in cruciform reading order around the central square perforation, one character per cardinal position: 太 (Tai) at top, 平 (Ping) at right, 百 (Bai) at left, and 錢 (Qian) at bottom, together reading Tai Ping Bai Qian, meaning 'Great Harmony Hundred Cash'. The coin exhibits the characteristic wide, flat annular field of the late-type issue, with no inner or outer rim rims raised to any significant degree. The surface displays heavy green and reddish-brown patination consistent with prolonged burial, typical of cast bronze coinage of the Three Kingdoms period Shu Han state.
