| Obverse description | Rectangular spade-shaped bronze cast piece with a round suspension hole at the top center and two downward-projecting feet at the base. The obverse bears two archaic Chinese seal-script characters, 貨布 (Huo Bu), arranged vertically in the central field, flanked by incuse vertical lines. The legend identifies this as a 'money spade,' conforming to the Wang Mang monetary reform coinage style. The overall surface shows typical casting texture with a patinated, granular finish characteristic of early first-century Chinese bronzes. |
