| Aanvullende informatie |
Ant-nose money — named by modern collectors for the facial markings that give the cast bronze its nickname — circulated throughout the Chu state during a period when the surrounding Zhou-vassal states were increasingly standardizing toward spade and knife coinage. Chu resisted that convergence entirely, maintaining its own currency tradition well into the Warring States period. The characters cast into this type remain debated; some scholars read them as a value denomination, others as a mint or workshop identifier.
Hartill's type 1 designation reflects the most commonly encountered facial configuration, though die variation within the series is substantial.
