| Obverse description | Central square hole (cash hole) surrounded by a plain raised inner rim and an outer rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order — top, bottom, right, left — forming the reign title and currency denomination: 至 (Zhi) above, 正 (Zheng) below, 通 (Tong) to the right, 寶 (Bao) to the left. The characters are boldly cast in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The overall style is typical of Yuan dynasty cast coinage, with clean strokes and moderate character depth. |
