| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin with a central square perforation surrounded by a plain inner rim and a raised outer rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 順 (Shun), 治 (Zhi), 通 (Tong), 寶 (Bao), together forming the reign title and denomination legend 'Shunzhi Tongbao.' The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The overall style is characteristic of early Qing dynasty cast coinage. |
