| Obverse description | Central field features four large Chinese ideograms arranged in a square formation within a beaded inner circle. A surrounding band of additional Chinese characters forms the outer legend, conveying the denomination, issuing authority, and monetary equivalence. The design is executed in a clean, formal regular script (kaishu) style. The beaded border provides a clear demarcation between the central inscription and the surrounding legend. |
