| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion around the hole, reading clockwise from top: 常 (Sang), 通 (Tong), 平 (Pyong), 寶 (Bo), forming the legend 常平通寶 (Sangpyong Tongbo), the name of the issuing agency and the word for currency. The characters are rendered in regular script (楷書) with two dots flanking the character 通 (Tong), identifying this as the 'two-dot Tong' variety. The field is plain, and the inner and outer rims are well defined. |
