| Obverse description | Round cast brass cash coin featuring a central square hole framed by a raised inner rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform order around the central aperture, reading clockwise from top: 嘉 (Jiā), 慶 (Qìng) to the right, 通 (Tōng) below, and 寶 (Bǎo) to the left, forming the reign title and monetary legend 嘉慶通寶 (Jiaqing Tongbao). The characters are bold and well-defined in relief against a flat, unadorned field. A plain raised outer rim encircles the entire design. |
