| Reverse description | Plain reverse of the spade money, retaining the same overall spade-shaped outline with raised border, trapezoidal head with circular suspension hole, vertical central rib, and bifurcated foot as seen on the obverse. The field is entirely blank of inscription or device, displaying a rough, granular cast surface consistent with traditional Chinese casting methods of the early first century AD. The surface is covered with an uneven dark olive-brown and green patina, with areas of original bronze visible beneath. |
