| Obverse description | Spade-shaped bronze coin with a raised circular hole at the top of the handle, within a recessed rectangular panel. The body of the spade displays four archaic Chinese seal-script (zhuanshu) ideograms arranged in two vertical columns, reading right to left: 布序 百四 (Xu Bu Si Bai, meaning 'Ordered Spade / 400'), denoting the denomination. A prominent central vertical ridge divides the face, with additional raised border lines framing the inscription fields. The lower portion terminates in the characteristic bifurcated foot typical of Wang Mang spade money. |
