| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim, with four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in the traditional reading order — top, bottom, right, left — forming the reign title and currency denomination 咸淳元寶 (Xianchun Yuanbao). The characters are boldly cast in relief against a flat field. A plain outer rim encircles the design. The overall style is consistent with Southern Song dynasty cast bronze cash coinage. |
