| Obverse description | Spade-shaped bronze coin with a circular suspension hole at the top and a raised border framing the entire piece. The face is divided by a central vertical line into two fields, each bearing two archaic Chinese seal-script characters reading right to left: 小布 一百 (Xiao Bu Yi Bai), denoting 'Small Spade, One Hundred' — indicating the denomination of 100 Cash. The inscription is rendered in the archaizing Wang Mang seal script, cast in shallow relief against a plain field. |

| Reverse description | Plain spade-shaped reverse with a raised border and a single vertical line running from the suspension hole at the top down through the centre of the field, dividing the face into two blank panels. The foot of the spade features the characteristic bifurcated base typical of Wang Mang small spade coinage. The field is otherwise entirely plain and devoid of inscription. |
