| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring a central square hole surrounded by a plain raised inner rim. The four Chinese characters of the reign title legend are arranged in clerical script (lishu) reading clockwise in the four cardinal positions around the central perforation: 天 (Tian) at top, 漢 (Han) at right, 元 (Yuan) at bottom, and 寶 (Bao) at left. The characters are bold and well-defined in high relief against a flat field. A raised outer rim borders the coin. |
