| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner rim and an outer raised rim enclosing the field. Four Chinese ideograms 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), 寳 (Bao), together forming the reign title legend 'Shunzhi Tongbao' — the 'universally circulating treasure of the Shunzhi Emperor'. The characters are cleanly cast with bold, even strokes typical of early Qing imperial coinage. |
