| Obverse description | Central square hole (cash hole) surrounded by a plain inner rim, with four Chinese ideograms arranged in cruciform pattern reading top-to-bottom then right-to-left in regular script (kaishu). The legend 至正通寶 (Zhizheng Tongbao) radiates outward from the central aperture toward the raised outer rim. The characters are boldly cast with clean strokes against a flat field, exhibiting typical Yuan dynasty casting quality. |
