| Obverse description | Spade-shaped bronze piece bearing four archaic seal script characters arranged vertically in two columns across the face, reading 旆比當釿. The inscription is cast in shallow relief against a plain field, with the characteristic squared shoulders and bifurcated foot typical of hollow-handle spade money of the Warring States period. A circular suspension hole pierces the upper handle at the top of the piece. |
