| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese ideograms arranged in cruciform fashion and read clockwise in regular script (kaishu). The four characters 天慶元寶 (Tianqing Yuanbao) are evenly distributed in the four cardinal fields around the central perforation. The characters are crisply cast with bold strokes against a flat, unadorned field, consistent with Western Xia monetary conventions of the Huanzong reign era. |
