| Obverse description | Spade-shaped bronze coin with a raised rectangular border and a circular hole at the top of the handle. The face is divided by a central vertical line into two columns, each bearing two archaic Chinese seal-script (zhuanshu) characters read from right to left. The four characters 么布百二 (Yao Bu Er Bai) denote the coin's type and denomination of 200 cash. The lower portion of the spade features the characteristic bifurcated foot typical of Wang Mang spade money, with the inscription arranged within the raised linear frame. |
