Comment
The weight of "1.000" almost certainly refers to 1 tael (37.5 grams), despite it only weighing 31.74 grams.The spade represented is an issue of the State of Han issue during the Warring States period, cast circa 350-250 BC, and was often depicted on coins of the Republic of China during its later years.
