| Obverse description | Four Chinese seal-script characters arranged in cruciform around a central square perforation, reading clockwise from the top: 天 (Tian), 通 (Tong) to the right, 寶 (Bao) at the bottom, and 啓 (Qi) to the left, conforming to the standard Ming dynasty cash coin layout. The characters are rendered in raised relief against a flat field, with bold, well-defined strokes characteristic of late Ming casting. A plain raised rim encircles the design. The square central hole is neatly formed with straight edges and slightly raised collar. |
