| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim, with four Chinese characters rendered in Regular script (kaishu) disposed in cruciform arrangement reading clockwise from top: 熙 (Xi), 寧 (Ning), 重 (Zhong), 寶 (Bao). The boldly cast characters fill the inner field between the central square hole and the raised inner rim, with a broad flat outer rim framing the composition. The legend reads 'Xi Ning Zhong Bao,' referencing the Xining reign era of Emperor Shenzong (1068–1077) and denoting this as a heavy or double-cash denomination. |
