| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast bronze cash coin featuring four Chinese ideograms rendered in seal script (zhuanshu), arranged in the traditional reading order: top, bottom, right, left around the central square perforation. The characters 永曆通寶 (Yongli Tongbao) are boldly cast in raised relief against a flat field, with the archaic seal script style imparting an angular, formal aesthetic. The square central hole is framed by a raised inner rim, itself surrounded by the four characters, with a further raised outer rim encircling the entire design. The surfaces show natural patination consistent with cast bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tungning Kingdom — the renegade Ming loyalist state established by Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga) on Taiwan after the Qing conquest of the mainland — issued the Yongli Tongbao coinage in the reign name of the Yongli Emperor, the last claimant of the Southern Ming, even though that emperor was in exile in Burma and had no practical authority over Taiwan. Minting in his name was a political act of defiance. Zheng's successors continued striking coins under this reign title for decades after Yongli's execution by a Burmese king in 1662, making the stated date range of this type an artifact of dynastic fiction rather than any living emperor's reign.
