| Obverse description | The obverse displays four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order: top to bottom and right to left around the central square perforation. The inscription reads 嘉慶通寶 (Jiaqing Tongbao), identifying the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor and denoting universal currency. The characters are rendered in bold, raised relief with broad strokes characteristic of Xinjiang provincial issues. A plain raised rim borders the coin, and the flat field between the characters shows no additional decorative elements. |
