| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring a central square perforation surrounded by four raised Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order: 同 (tóng) above, 治 (zhì) below, 通 (tōng) to the right, and 寶 (bǎo) to the left, together forming the reign title legend 'Tongzhi Tongbao' (Universal currency of the Tongzhi reign). The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The obverse exhibits the typical minimalist aesthetic of Qing dynasty cast coinage, with a plain rim and no additional decorative elements. |
