| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional cross-pattern reading top, right, bottom, left around a central square perforation. The characters 光緒通寶 (Guang Xu Tong Bao) are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat field, with the reign title 光緒 (Guangxu) on the vertical axis and the denomination legend 通寶 (Tong Bao, meaning 'universal currency') on the horizontal axis. The coin exhibits a broad, flat rim typical of late Qing provincial issues, and the overall casting quality reflects the characteristic style of the Xinjiang regional mints. |
