| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin bearing four Chinese ideograms in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order — top, bottom, right, left — around a central square perforation: 天慶元寶 (Tianqing Yuanbao). The characters are rendered in a bold, raised relief typical of Liao dynasty casting, set within a plain inner rim and an outer raised border. The field shows the characteristic granular surface of sand-cast production. The coin displays heavy green and blue-green patination consistent with long burial. |
