| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order: top to bottom and right to left. The legend reads 光緒通寶 (Guangxu Tongbao), meaning 'Circulating treasure of the Guangxu reign.' The characters occupy the four quadrants of the obverse field, separated by the square perforation, with relatively bold strokes characteristic of the Board of Revenue issues. The rim is a plain, slightly raised border encircling the entire face. |
