| Obverse description | Large cast bronze cash coin featuring a central square hole surrounded by a raised inner rim. Four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged symmetrically in the four cardinal positions around the square hole, reading clockwise: 至 (Zhi), 正 (Zheng), 之 (Zhi), 寶 (Bao), forming the reign era inscription 'Zhizheng Zhibao'. The broad, flat fields between the inner and outer rims are plain and unadorned. The outer rim is raised and well-defined, consistent with Yuan dynasty casting conventions. |
