| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin centred on a square perforation, with four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top-bottom-right-left: 同 (Tong), 治 (Zhi), 通 (Tong), 寶 (Bao), rendering the reign title and denomination legend 'Tongzhi Tongbao.' The characters are boldly raised in relief against a flat, unadorned field, framed by a plain inner rim surrounding the square hole and a raised outer rim encircling the coin. The style is consistent with posthumously issued provincial cast coinage of the late Qing period. |
