| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wang Mang's monetary reforms are among the most ambitious — and catastrophically rejected — currency interventions in Chinese history. The Third Reform of 10 AD introduced a bewildering array of denominations intended to replace Han coinage, but the populace largely refused to use them, continuing to circulate the familiar wuzhu cash illegally. The 700-cash valuation assigned to this piece bore no relationship to its metal content, a gap the market refused to accept.
Wang Mang was overthrown in 23 AD, and most of his currency never achieved meaningful circulation.
