| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a plain raised inner rim and a broader outer rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 崇 (top), 禎 (bottom), 通 (right), 寶 (left), forming the reign title and denomination legend 崇禎通寶 (Chongzhen Tongbao). The characters are boldly cast in relief against a flat field, characteristic of the southern workshop style of the late Ming dynasty. |
