| Obverse description | Cast iron cash coin of large module featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square boss. The four-character reign legend 乾豐泉寶 (Qianfeng Quanbao) is disposed in cruciform arrangement around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left in regular script (kaishu), with one character positioned at each cardinal point. The characters are rendered in bold, deeply cast relief against a flat inner field, enclosed within a raised inner rim and an outer circular border. The coin displays heavy iron patina with areas of rust-brown encrustation consistent with age and burial. |

The field is otherwise unadorned, bounded by a raised circular outer rim. The surface exhibits a coarse iron casting texture with significant dark oxidation patina and ochre-toned corrosion deposits. |
