| Obverse description | Central square hole (穿) surrounded by a plain inner rim, with four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion reading clockwise from the top: 建中通寶 (Jianzhong Tongbao), rendered in regular script (楷書). The characters are boldly cast and well-defined against a flat field, with a raised outer rim encircling the design. The overall style is characteristic of mid-Tang dynasty imperial coinage, exhibiting clean, authoritative calligraphy typical of the Jianzhong reign period (780–783 CE). |
