| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin with a central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in the traditional cross pattern. Reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, the reign title 光緒 (Guangxu) occupies the vertical axis, while the cyclical year designation 丁未 (Ding Wei, corresponding to 1907) is inscribed on the horizontal axis. The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The broad flat rim is plain and undecorated, consistent with late Qing provincial cast coinage. The overall fabric and style are characteristic of the Xinjiang provincial mint tradition. |
