| Obverse description | Central square perforation (cash hole) surrounded by a plain inner rim. Four Chinese ideograms arranged in cruciform reading order — top, bottom, right, left — rendered in Clerical script (lishu): 政 (Zheng), 和 (He), 通 (Tong), 寶 (Bao), together forming the reign-era inscription 'Zhenghe Tongbao'. The characters are crisply cast in shallow relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin is bounded by a raised outer rim typical of Northern Song dynasty cast cash coinage. |
