Four Chinese clerical-script ideograms arranged in cruciform fashion around the central perforation, read in the traditional sequence top-bottom, right-left: 乾 (top), 重 (right), 寶 (bottom), 元 (left), forming the legend Qianyuan Zhongbao. The characters are boldly cast in relief within a broad, flat field, with a raised outer rim encircling the entire face. |
