Reverse description The reverse of this spade-form cast bronze presents an essentially plain field with faint relief striations along the vertical axis, mirroring the spade outline of the obverse. Residual casting flash and natural bronze patination in green and brown tones are visible across the surface. The two flanged shoulder extensions and bifurcated foot terminals are clearly defined, consistent with the standardized 貨布 (Huo Bu) spade coinage produced under Wang Mang's fifth monetary reform. No additional legend or decorative device appears on the reverse.
