XIN: Wang Mang, 7-23 AD, AE spade money (16.69g), H-9.30, hua bu in archaic script, a superb quality example! EF. The inscription of the Huo Bu is read from right to left with the seal script on the right reading "Huo", which translates as "Money", and the character on the left is "Bu", which translates as "Spade." The Wang Mang era spades have a lot of similarities with the spade money cast during the Warring States period. A major difference between this spade money and the earlier Zhou dynasty version is the addition of the hole at the top of the spade. These spade coins had the nominal value of 25 cash coins.

Estimate: 75-100 USD
