| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central square perforation surrounded by four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order: top to bottom, right to left. The inscription reads 'Zhi Zheng Zhi Bao' (至正之寶), denoting the Zhizheng reign era of Emperor Toghon Temür (1341–1368) and identifying the piece as an officially sanctioned currency token. The characters are boldly cast with broad, well-defined strokes within a plain, unadorned field. The coin rim is raised and smooth, framing the composition without additional decorative elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Zhizheng Zhibao series was issued under the last Yuan emperor Toghon Temür during a period of catastrophic dynastic collapse — the Red Turban Rebellions were already tearing apart the northern provinces when these coins entered circulation. The larger denominations, including this 1 qian 5 fen piece, were part of an emergency monetary expansion intended to fund military suppression of the uprisings. It did not work.
Hartill 19.122 is among the heavier cast pieces in the Zhizheng sequence, and genuine examples at full weight are increasingly difficult to authenticate given the volume of later imitations produced during the Ming transition period.
