| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner rim, with four Chinese ideograms in Regular script (Kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order: top, bottom, right, left. The reign title 嘉泰通寶 (Jiatai Tongbao) radiates outward from the central hole toward a plain raised outer rim. The cast fields exhibit a characteristically rough iron surface with visible casting texture. The legend strokes are bold and well-defined despite the corrosion typical of Southern Song iron cash. |
