| Obverse description | Four Chinese seal-script characters arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, reading clockwise from the top: 元 (above), 祐 (right), 通 (below), 寶 (left), forming the legend 'Genyū Tsūhō' (Currency of Genyū). The raised characters are bold and stylized in the archaic seal-script tradition, set within a plain raised rim encircling the coin's outer edge. The flat field between the characters and the rim is unadorned. The overall design follows the classic East Asian cast cash coin format established during the Tang dynasty. |
