| Obverse description | Four Tangut ideograms arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square perforation, reading from right to top and bottom to left, rendering the inscription 'Fusheng Baoqian' (Treasure Coin of the Fusheng era, 1053–1056, third reign era of Emperor Yizong). The characters are cast in a bold, regularised Tangut script with relatively flat relief against a plain field. The coin presents the typical Eastern cast-cash format with no outer rim decoration beyond the raised lip encircling the periphery. |
