The image depicts an ancient artifact that appears to be a form of currency, specifically a knife-shaped coin. This type of coin, known as "knife money" or "dao bi" in Chinese, was used in ancient China during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE).

The coin has a distinct shape resembling a knife or a small blade. It features a handle with a circular loop at one end, which would have been used for stringing the coins together or for carrying. The blade section of the coin is flat and elongated, with what appears to be inscriptions or designs etched into the surface. The patina on the coin suggests it is made of bronze or a similar metal and has aged over time, giving it a greenish-brown hue.

Knife money was one of the earliest forms of metallic currency in China and was used primarily in the northern regions before being replaced by round coins with square holes, which became more standardized.
