| Obverse description | Cast copper cash-type coin featuring four Chinese characters arranged in the traditional clockwise reading order around a central square perforation. The legend 延喜通寳 (Engi Tsūhō) is distributed one character per cardinal position — 延 (top), 喜 (right), 通 (bottom), 寳 (left) — separated by the raised rims of the square central hole. The characters are rendered in regular script (kaisho) style and are contained within a broad, flat annular field bounded by a slightly raised outer rim. The surface exhibits characteristic casting texture consistent with early Heian-period Japanese mint production. |
