| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four Chinese seal script (zhuanshu) ideograms arranged in cruciform fashion around the perforation, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 昭武通寶 (Zhaowu Tongbao). The characters are boldly cast in high relief against a flat field, exhibiting the archaic, angular forms characteristic of seal script. A plain raised rim encircles the coin. The overall design follows the conventional Chinese cash coin format established since the Han dynasty. |
