| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

Wang Mang's monetary reforms were among the most ambitious — and catastrophically unpopular — currency interventions in Chinese history. The Third Reform of 10 AD introduced a sprawling system of denominations intended to replace the Han coinage Wang Mang had displaced when he usurped the throne in 9 AD. The 600-cash valuation was fictional in any practical sense; the public largely refused to use the new coins at face, recognizing that the intrinsic bronze value bore no relationship to the assigned denomination.
Hoarding and counterfeiting were rampant. Wang Mang responded by making currency violations a capital offense, reportedly enslaving the families of offenders. The reforms collapsed with his regime in 23 AD.
