| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four large Chinese ideograms rendered in flowing cursive running script (xingshu), arranged in cruciform reading order — top, right, bottom, left — forming the reign title and monetary legend. The characters are boldly cast with characteristic brushstroke fluidity, set within a plain inner rim and a raised outer rim. The coin surface displays a natural bronze patina with areas of green verdigris consistent with age. No additional decorative elements appear in the field. |
