| Obverse description | Round cast brass coin with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim. The four-character reign title legend 崇禎通寶 (Chongzhen Tongbao) is arranged in regular script (kaishu) in the four cardinal positions around the central hole: 崇 (Chong) at top, 寶 (Bao) at bottom, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 禎 (Zhen) to the left. The characters are rendered in bold relief with well-defined strokes typical of northern mint production. The coin displays an even raised outer rim and a flat, unadorned field between the legend and the rim. |
