| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cast bronze reverse featuring the same two-character inscription 'Wu Zhu' (五銖) flanking the central square hole, mirroring the obverse legend — a distinguishing feature of this 'repeated legend' variety catalogued as Hartill 10.43. The characters are rendered in low relief in the seal script style, with '五' to the right and '銖' to the left of the perforation. Raised inner and outer rims are present, consistent with standard Eastern Han cash coin production. The surface exhibits heavy patination, earthen deposits, and bronze corrosion typical of coins from this period. |

By the late Eastern Han, central authority over coinage had effectively collapsed. Regional warlords, local governors, and private casters all produced 5 Zhu pieces with minimal oversight from Luoyang. The repeated legend variety — where the inscription runs on both sides of the coin — is generally associated with this period of decentralized production, though attribution to a specific issuing authority remains impossible for most examples.
Hartill 10.43 places this type in the final decades before the Han dynasty formally dissolved in 220 AD, when Cao Pi forced the abdication of Emperor Xian.
