| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional cross pattern and read top-to-bottom then right-to-left. The character 光 (Guang) appears above the hole, 緒 (Xu) to the right, 重 (Zhong) below, and 寶 (Bao) to the left, together forming the reign title inscription 'Guangxu Zhongbao' (Precious Currency of the Guangxu reign). The legends are cast in relief against a plain, flat field, consistent with the orthodox style of late Qing dynasty cash coinage. |
