| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, reading top, right, bottom, left: 天 (Tiān), 通 (Tōng), 定 (Dìng), 寶 (Bǎo). The characters are boldly cast in relief within a plain, slightly raised field, enclosed by a raised inner rim surrounding the square central perforation and an outer raised rim defining the coin's periphery. The overall style is characteristic of late Yuan-period rebel coinage, with robust, well-defined strokes and a slightly uneven casting surface consistent with hand-finished sand or clay mould production. |
