The “Yong’an Five Zhu” coin is a numismatic item bearing the era name, first minted during the second year of Emperor Xiaozhuang of Northern Wei’s Yong’an era (AD 529). Historical records delineate three variations of the “Yong’an Five Zhu” coinage: apart from the initial coinage that was characterized by the absence of any inscription on the reverse side by Emperor Xiaozhuang, there were also coins minted during the Yongxi period (AD 532-534) of Emperor Xiaowu with the inscription “土” (earth) on the reverse side. The third variation emerged after the split of Northern Wei, produced during the reign of Emperor Xiaojing of Eastern Wei in the third year of the Xinghe era (AD 541), featuring a four-character inscription on the reverse side. The absence of an inscription on this particular coin leads to the deduction that it belongs to the Yong’an Five Zhu series from the period of Emperor Xiaozhuang.

永安五銖是年號錢,北魏孝莊帝永安2年(公元529年)始鑄。據記載「永安五銖」錢共有三種:除了孝莊帝始鑄的光背錢;還有永熙年間(公元532-534年)孝武帝鑄的背「土」字錢;第三種是北魏分裂後,東魏孝敬帝於興和3年(公元541年)鑄行的背四出文錢。本枚背無文,因而推斷是孝莊帝時期的永安五銖。
