| Obverse description | Central square perforation (穿) surrounded by a raised inner rim, with four Chinese ideograms in cursive running script (行書) arranged in the traditional reading order — top, bottom, right, left — reading 大觀通寶 (Daguan Tongbao). The characters are boldly rendered with fluid, calligraphic strokes characteristic of the running script style promoted under Emperor Huizong's reign. A plain raised outer rim borders the coin field. The heavily corroded iron surface displays a rough, pitted texture consistent with long-term oxidation. |
