| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a raised inner rim, flanked by four cast Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order: top to bottom and right to left. The reign title reads 光緒通寶 (Guangxu Tongbao), with 光 (Guang) at top, 緒 (Xu) at bottom, 通 (Tong) at right, and 寶 (Bao) at left. The characters are rendered in bold relief within a plain, slightly raised outer rim. The coin exhibits the characteristic flat, unadorned field typical of late Qing cash coinage produced by the Xinjiang mints. |
