| Obverse description | Round cast brass coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order. The four characters 祺祥重寶 (Qixiang Zhongbao) read top-bottom and right-left around the central aperture, denoting the Qixiang reign title and the designation 'heavy currency.' The characters are boldly rendered in relief against a flat field, with no rim ornamentation, consistent with the austere casting style of mid-Qing imperial coinage. |
