Comments

Typ "Western Han" różni się od typu "Eastern Han" górnym poziomym prawym rodnikiem Zhu: typ "Western Han" jest płaski, podczas gdy typ "Eastern Han" jest zakrzywiony.

Począwszy od 113 r. p.n.e., monety były odlewane z gładką krawędzią.

Mały Wu ma krawędź prawej strony Wu daleko od krawędzi, a większość form pochodzi z okresu panowania Xuan z Han (74-49 pne).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The "Western Han" type is differenciable from the "Eastern Han" type in the top horizontal of the right radical of Zhu: the "Western Han" type is flat whereas the "Eastern Han" type is cuved.

Starting from 113 BC, coins were cast with smooth edge.

The small Wu has the edge of the right side of the Wu far from the edge, and most moulds are dated from the reign of Xuan of Han (74-49 BC).
