| Obverse description | Round silver coin featuring a central square perforation, around which four bold Chinese characters are arranged in the traditional cruciform layout, read top to bottom and right to left. The characters 足 (top), 壹 (right), 銀 (bottom), and 錢 (left) radiate outward from the square hole, each deeply struck with a robust brushstroke style. The legend reads 足銀壹錢, denoting 'pure silver, one qian.' The field is plain and unadorned, with a raised rim encircling the design. |
