The shank retains the same three longitudinal parallel lines as seen on the obverse, leading to the terminal suspension ring. The casting seam and surface granulation are characteristic of Warring States period bronze production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Fa Hua" (法化) inscription on Qi knife money denotes official state-sanctioned currency, distinguishing these pieces from the cruder knife forms circulating in neighboring states. Qi's knife coinage persisted through repeated political upheaval, including the near-total conquest of the state by Yan around 284 BC, when Qi was reduced to just two cities before Tian Dan's famous counteroffensive restored the kingdom. That interruption likely accounts for observable variation in fabric and weight across the type's long production span.
