| 正面描述 | Cast primitive Chinese ideogram 伒 (Jin, a unit of weight) rendered in raised relief at the center of the oval field, executed in the archaic script style characteristic of the Warring States period. The character occupies the majority of the obverse face, with the strokes appearing bold and slightly irregular due to the casting process. A small perforation hole is present at the lower end of the piece, a defining feature of ant-nose money. The green patina typical of ancient Chinese bronzes covers the surface. |

Ant-nose coins — named by Western collectors for the facial resemblance visible in the cast relief — were the primary small-denomination currency of the Chu state throughout the Warring States period. Chu was unusual among the major states in never adopting the knife or spade currencies dominant in the north, instead developing this distinctive oval cast form that has no direct parallel elsewhere in Chinese monetary history. The type 2 designation in Hartill's classification distinguishes specific inscription variants, as the characters cast onto these pieces remain disputed among scholars — some read them as denominational, others as mint or clan marks.
