| Obverse description | Round cast bronze coin with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 助國元寶 (Zhuguo Yuanbao). The characters are boldly rendered in relief against a flat field, with an outer raised rim encircling the entire obverse. The coin displays an even patina consistent with age, characteristic of Liao dynasty cast coinage. |
