| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim. Four Chinese clerical-script characters are arranged in the traditional cross-reading order — top, bottom, right, left — around the central hole, forming the reign title legend. The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat field, with a plain raised outer rim encircling the design. The overall style is consistent with Five Dynasties period casting conventions. |
