| Obverse description | Round cast bronze coin with a central square hole surrounded by a raised inner rim and an outer border ring. The field between the inner and outer rims bears two archaic Chinese characters, '東周' (Dong Zhou, meaning 'Eastern Zhou'), cast in relief in an early seal-script style, positioned symmetrically on either side of the central perforation. The coin surface displays characteristic green and blue patination consistent with ancient burial burial bronze. |
