| Obverse description | A single Chinese character (中) appears in the upper field of the coin, cast in regular script (kaishu). The remainder of the obverse field is plain and unadorned. The central square hole (穿) is characteristic of Tang-period cash coinage. The casting is irregular, consistent with privately produced issues of the Jianzhong era (780–783). |
