| Obverse description | Cast bronze Wu Zhu cash coin featuring two Chinese seal-script characters reading right to left: 五 (Wu, five) to the right of the central square perforation and 銖 (Zhu) to the left. A raised inner rim borders the central square hole, and a raised outer rim frames the coin. A short supplementary line appears in the field at one or more locations depending on the variety, serving as a distinguishing mark among Eastern Han issues. The coin displays characteristic late Eastern Han fabric with a broad, flat flan and natural green and brown patination. |
