| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters in Regular script (kaishu) arranged in the traditional cross reading order — top, bottom, right, left — surrounding a central square hole. The characters 慶元通寶 (Qingyuan Tongbao) are rendered in bold, well-formed strokes within a plain raised rim. The field is flat and unadorned, typical of Southern Song dynasty cast coinage. |
