| 表面の説明 | A single archaic Chinese ideogram, rendered in raised relief in the cast bronze field. The character 匋 (Tao) is positioned centrally on the oval flan, executed in a primitive, angular script characteristic of the Warring States period. The surface exhibits the typical patina and casting texture associated with Chu State ant-nose money. A small oval perforation is present at the lower end of the flan. |

Chu was the largest of the Warring States kingdoms by territory, and its monetary system diverged sharply from the spade and knife coins favored in the north. These cast bronze pieces circulated across a region stretching from the Yangtze basin into modern Hunan and Hubei — an economy running on commodity agriculture and lacquerware rather than the grain-and-silk tribute systems of rival states. The face markings, whatever their original meaning, appear to derive from cowrie shell inscriptions, suggesting a deliberate continuity with an older commodity-money tradition.
