| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin of traditional Chinese form, featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, read top to bottom then right to left: 乾 (Qian) above, 隆 (Long) below, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left, together forming the reign title and currency designation 乾隆通寶 (Qianlong Tongbao). The legends are rendered in bold relief against a flat field, framed by an outer raised rim. The coin displays an even patina with areas of green cuprite corrosion consistent with genuine age. |
