| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin featuring a central square perforation framed by a raised inner rim and an outer rim of similar profile. The four-character reign title legend 道光通寶 (Daoguang Tongbao) is arranged in the traditional top-bottom-right-left reading order around the central hole, rendered in regular script (kaishu) in relief against a flat field. The characters are cleanly cast with moderate relief, consistent with standard Qing Dynasty provincial mint production. The flat, undecorated field between the legend and the outer rim is typical of cash coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Cast reverse featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner and outer rim. Two Manchu script characters, reading 寶山 (Boo-san), are positioned to the left and right of the central square hole respectively, identifying the Baoding Mint. The characters are rendered in relief against a plain, flat field, with casting texture visible across the surface. The sparse, unadorned design is characteristic of Qing Dynasty cash coinage reverse types. |
