| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform fashion and read in the traditional sequence: top, bottom, right, left. The legend 康熙通寶 (Kangxi Tongbao) fills the four quadrants of the field, with 康 (Kang) at the top, 熙 (Xi) at the bottom, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left. The characters are boldly cast in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field, with a plain raised rim encircling the design. The overall style is characteristic of early Qing Dynasty provincial cash coinage. |
