| Obverse description | Spade-shaped cast bronze coin with a raised border enclosing the entire face. A circular suspension hole is situated at the top of the spade head, bisected by a vertical raised line running the full length of the body. Two archaic Chinese seal-script characters are cast in relief on either side of the central line in the upper register, reading '七百' (Seven Hundred), denoting the coin's denominational value. The lower register displays the character '布壮' (Zhuang Bu, meaning 'Adult Spade') cast in relief. The coin exhibits a classic two-footed spade form with characteristic squared shoulders, consistent with Wang Mang's third monetary reform coinage. |
