| Obverse description | Four crudely rendered Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, reading clockwise from the top: 開 (Kai), 寳 (Bao), 大 (Da), 通 (Tong), forming the legend Kai Da Tong Bao. The characters are executed in a rough, irregular style characteristic of locally cast provincial issues of the Five Dynasties period. A plain raised rim borders the outer edge of the coin, and a square inner rim frames the central perforation. The overall workmanship reflects the debased casting standards typical of lead cash of the Chu Kingdom. |
