| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, read in the traditional sequence top-bottom-right-left. The characters 道光通寶 (Daoguang Tongbao) are rendered in bold relief against a flat field, with 道 at the top, 寶 at the bottom, 通 to the right, and 光 to the left of the central perforation. A wide plain rim encircles the coin. The casting is typical of Xinjiang provincial workmanship of the Daoguang period. |
