| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a plain inner rim and a raised border. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order — top, bottom, right, left — forming the legend 建炎通寶 (Jianyan Tongbao). The characters are boldly cast in moderate relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin exhibits the typical Southern Song cast-bronze aesthetic with a plain, undecorated reverse. |
