| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner rim, with four Chinese characters in clerical script (lishu) arranged in the four quadrants, read top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 開 (Kai) at top, 元 (Yuan) at bottom, 通 (Tong) at right, and 寶 (Bao) at left. The characters are boldly cast in raised relief, separated by the inner square rim. A plain outer rim frames the coin, typical of Tang dynasty cash coinage. |
