背面描述	Plain and uninscribed uniface reverse, entirely devoid of design or legend. The surface is flat with a raised square inner rim surrounding the central square perforation and a plain outer rim, displaying a uniform olive-green patina with scattered green cuprite deposits throughout the field, typical of ancient Chinese cast bronze cash coins of the Xin dynasty period.

附加信息	Wang Mang's currency reforms are among the most aggressively interventionist monetary experiments in Chinese history. The second reform, launched in 9 AD upon the establishment of the Xin dynasty, introduced a bewildering array of denominations — at one point numbering twenty-eight distinct coin types — as Mang attempted to fund his administration while simultaneously dismantling the economic infrastructure of the displaced Han. The 30-cash valuation assigned to this piece bore essentially no relationship to its metal content, a gap that drove immediate counterfeiting and widespread non-compliance. By 14 AD the entire system had collapsed into a simplified replacement, making the active emission window for this denomination under five years.
