| Obverse description | Cast iron cash coin of the Ma Chu Kingdom, featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square inner rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left as Tian Ce Fu Bao (天策府寶), denoting the reign title and treasury of the Tiance Generalship. The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin is encircled by a plain raised outer rim, with no additional decorative motifs in the field. The surface exhibits characteristic iron oxidation consistent with age. |
