| Obverse description | Cast iron spade-shaped (bu) money with a rectangular head surmounted by a circular suspension hole above two pronounced shoulder notches. The body bears two Chinese characters in seal script (zhuanshu), reading 布貨 (Huo Bu) from right to left, rendered in relief against a striated field. The legs of the spade terminate in two splayed feet separated by a central arch, characteristic of the bu coinage tradition. |
