| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters in standard regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central square perforation, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 大順通寶 (Da Shun Tong Bao). The characters are boldly cast in raised relief within a plain, undecorated field, with no inner or outer rim decoration beyond the coin's edge. The casting shows characteristic features of mid-17th century rebel-issue coinage, with relatively broad rims framing the square central hole. The overall style is consistent with contemporaneous Ming-period cash coinage traditions. |
