| Obverse description | Spade-shaped bronze coin with a square perforation at the top of the handle. The flat face bears four archaic Chinese seal-script (zhuanshu) ideograms arranged in two vertical columns reading right to left: 布中 (Zhong Bu, meaning 'Middle Spade') on the right and 百六 (Liu Bai, meaning '600') on the left, denoting the coin's denomination. A central vertical ridge divides the face, flanked by the inscribed characters in the field. The surface shows characteristic patination consistent with cast bronze of the Xin dynasty period. |
