| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a raised inner rim, with four Chinese ideograms in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order — top, right, bottom, left — forming the reign title inscription. The characters are rendered in a measured, formal calligraphic style typical of Southern Song dynasty cast coinage. A raised outer rim borders the coin's circumference, and the flat field between the legends and the rims is unadorned. |
