| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised rim on both the inner and outer edges. Four Chinese characters in running script (xingshu) are arranged symmetrically in the four cardinal positions around the central hole, reading clockwise: 元 (yuán, top), 寶 (bǎo, right), 通 (tōng, bottom — reading order per convention), and 豐 (fēng, left), forming the reign title and denomination legend 元豐通寶 (Yuanfeng Tongbao). The characters are rendered in a somewhat crude, softly struck style consistent with a locally cast tin imitation, and the flat field shows evidence of surface granularity typical of tin casting. |
