| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a raised square border, with four Chinese ideograms in running script (xingshu) arranged in clockwise reading order around the central aperture: 紹 (above), 聖 (right), 元 (below), 寶 (left). The characters are boldly cast in relief with the fluid, cursive strokes characteristic of the xingshu calligraphic style. The field between the square border and the outer rim is plain and slightly concave, and the raised outer rim is well-defined. |
