| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central square perforation surrounded by a plain raised inner rim, flanking which appear two Chinese seal-script characters read from right to left: 五 (Wu, 'five') to the right of the hole and 銖 (Zhu, a unit of weight) to the left, both rendered in low relief. The legends are cast in a somewhat rough, archaic style characteristic of Southern Dynasties coinage, with visible surface porosity and green patination consistent with burial age. A plain raised outer rim encircles the entire design field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Southern Qi, Chen, and intervening courts of the mid-sixth century were minting under chronic bronze shortages, and the coinages of this window are notoriously inconsistent in alloy and flan preparation. The Wen reign of the Chen dynasty — one of the shortest-lived of the Southern dynasties succession — produced issues that circulated alongside debased remnants of earlier Southern Qi and Liang coinage, creating a chaotic monetary environment where weight and purity were largely nominal.
Hartill 10.22 distinguishes this type by specific rim and cast characteristics that separate it from near-contemporary issues sharing the same inscription.
