| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast bronze coin with a central square perforation, the field bearing two Chinese characters in archaic Zhuan (Seal Script): 百 (Bai, meaning 'hundred') and 直 (Zhi, meaning 'value' or 'worth'), positioned to the right and left of the square hole respectively. The characters are rendered in the formal, angular Seal Script tradition typical of the Three Kingdoms period Shu Han issues. The coin displays a raised rim on both the outer edge and around the square central aperture. The surface shows characteristic casting texture with areas of green patination consistent with ancient bronze. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Shu Han state, ruling from Chengdu under the Liu family's claim to Han legitimacy, issued debased high-denomination cash coins as a fiscal expedient during its perpetual resource strain — garrisoning the northern frontier against Wei while maintaining Zhuge Liang's failed succession of northern campaigns drained the treasury continuously. The "Zhi Bai" designation meaning "value one hundred" was nominally enforced but commercially ignored; merchants discounted these coins aggressively against their face value from the outset.
At 0.62 grams, the metal content bore no rational relationship to the claimed denomination.
