| Obverse description | Central square perforation (cash hole) surrounded by a raised square rim, with four Chinese seal-script (zhuanshu) characters arranged in clockwise reading order around the central aperture: 元 (Yuan) at top, 祐 (You) at right, 通 (Tong) at bottom, and 寶 (Bao) at left. The characters are rendered in elegant, archaic seal script with rounded strokes characteristic of Northern Song calligraphic tradition. A plain raised outer rim frames the field. The flat, undecorated field between the inner square rim and the outer rim is typical of Song dynasty cash coinage. |
