| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin with a central square perforation framed by a raised square rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged symmetrically around the central hole in the traditional cross pattern: 道 (Dao) above, 光 (Guang) below, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left, together reading 道光通寶 (Daoguang Tongbao). The characters are boldly rendered in relief against a flat, unadorned field. An outer raised rim encircles the entire design. |
