| Obverse description | Central square perforation flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional reading order: top, bottom, right, left, forming the reign title and currency legend. The character 咸 (Xian) appears above the hole, 豐 (Feng) below, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left. The flat field is devoid of additional ornamentation, consistent with standard Qing dynasty cast cash coinage. The rim is broad and plain, with the characters rendered in raised relief. |
