| Obverse description | Round cast brass coin with a central square hole, displaying four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged around the central perforation. Reading clockwise from the top: 咸 (Xian), 豐 (Feng), 寶 (Bao), and 重 (Zhong), forming the reign title legend 咸豐重寶 (Xianfeng Zhongbao), indicating a heavy-denomination currency of the Xianfeng Emperor's reign. The characters are rendered in raised relief against a flat field, with clean, well-defined strokes typical of Board of Revenue mint production. The rim is plain and slightly raised, framing the inscription neatly. |
