| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order. The characters 咸豐元寶 (Xianfeng Yuanbao) are boldly rendered in the field, reading top-bottom-right-left: 咸 (top), 寶 (bottom), 元 (right), 豐 (left). The strokes are deeply incised with strong, confident calligraphic quality typical of Board of Revenue issues. The coin has a plain, raised rim with no additional ornamental devices in the field. |
