| Obverse description | Cast copper cash-type coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged symmetrically around a central square hole, reading clockwise: 熙 (top), 寧 (right), 元 (bottom), 寳 (left), forming the legend 熙寧元寳 (Xining Yuanbao). The characters are rendered in bold relief within a plain, raised rim, with a flat, unadorned field between the legend and the outer border. The casting is typical of the Nagasaki trade coinage series produced for use in Sino-Japanese commerce. |
