| Obverse description | Central square perforation framed by a raised square border, around which four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion, read top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 康 (Kāng) above, 熙 (Xī) below, 通 (Tōng) to the right, and 寶 (Bǎo) to the left. The characters are boldly cast in relief against a flat inner field. A plain raised rim encircles the entire design, characteristic of Qing dynasty cash coinage. |
