| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin centred on a square perforation, flanked by the two-character inscription 五銖 (Wu Zhu, '5 Zhu') reading right to left in archaic clerical script (lishu). The character 五 appears to the right of the hole and 銖 to the left, both rendered in bold relief within the inner square rim. A raised inner square rim frames the central hole, and a plain outer rim borders the coin. The flat field shows no additional decorative devices, consistent with standard Eastern Han casting practice. |
