| Reverse description | Uniface reverse, presenting a plain, undecorated cast surface with no devices, legends, or inscriptions of any kind. The surface exhibits a granular, pitted texture typical of ancient sand-cast bronze, with pronounced blue-green patination across the entire field. The oval perforation in the lower portion is visible in continuity through the flan. The beveled edges visible on this face confirm the characteristic wedge-shaped cross-section of ant-nose money produced by the State of Chu. |
