| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin featuring a central square perforation surrounded by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order: 同 (Tong) at top, 治 (Zhi) at bottom, 通 (Tong) at right, and 寶 (Bao) at left, together forming the reign title and denomination legend 同治通寶 (Tongzhi Tongbao). The characters are rendered in bold relief against a flat, unadorned field, separated by the four quadrants defined by the square hole. A plain raised rim encircles the design, consistent with standard Qing dynasty cast coinage. |
