| Aversbeschreibung | Cast bronze coin featuring four Chinese characters arranged in a cruciform reading order around a central square hole, reading clockwise from the top: 洪 (Hóng), 通 (Tōng), 武 (Wǔ), 寶 (Bǎo), forming the reign title inscription 洪武通寶 (Hóngwǔ Tōngbǎo), meaning 'Circulating Treasure of the Hongwu Era'. The characters are rendered in standard script (楷書, kǎishū) with bold, well-defined strokes typical of early Ming dynasty imperial coinage. The field is flat and unadorned, with a raised rim encircling the coin's periphery. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Plain reverse field with a central square hole flanked by a single Chinese character 豫 (Yù) positioned below the aperture, identifying the Henan Provincial Mint as the issuing authority. The character is rendered in standard script with clear, deliberate strokes. The raised rim is present on all sides, consistent with standard Ming dynasty casting practice. The surface shows typical casting texture. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Hongwu Emperor's cash coinage system was among the most administratively ambitious of any Chinese dynasty at its outset — denominations ranging from 1 to 10 cash were issued simultaneously, each with distinct weight standards intended to rationalize trade after the monetary chaos of the late Yuan period. The experiment largely failed. By the early 1380s, the government pivoted toward paper currency, and large-denomination bronze cash like this 3-cash piece saw sharply reduced production before the series was effectively abandoned.
The "Yu" mint designation identifies production at Nanjing's auxiliary casting operation. Hartill 20.95 is among the more elusive mint-denomination combinations within the Hongwu series.
