| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin with a central square hole. Four Chinese characters in kaishu (regular script) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central perforation, reading top-to-bottom then right-to-left: 光 (Guāng) above, 緒 (Xù) to the right, 通 (Tōng) to the left, and 寶 (Bǎo) below, forming the reign legend 'Guāngxù Tōngbǎo' — meaning 'Current currency of the Guangxu reign.' The characters are bold and raised in relief against a flat field, with a plain outer rim encircling the design. |
