| Obverse description | Round cast brass coin with a central square hole characteristic of Chinese cash coinage. The obverse bears four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in a cruciform pattern reading clockwise from the top: 咸 (Xian), 重 (Zhong), 豐 (Feng), and 寶 (Bao), together forming the reign title and denomination inscription 咸豐重寶 (Xianfeng Zhongbao). The characters are rendered in bold, well-formed strokes within the broad flat field, framed by raised inner and outer rims. The overall style is consistent with official Board of Revenue Mint production of the Xianfeng period. |
