| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional cross pattern reading top-to-bottom, right-to-left around a central square hole. The inscription 乾隆通寶 (Qianlong Tongbao) occupies the four cardinal positions relative to the square perforation, with 乾 at top, 通 to the right, 寶 at bottom, and 隆 to the left. The characters are boldly raised in relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin bears a broad, plain rim encircling the design, typical of late Qing-era cast coinage from the Xinjiang mints. |
