| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Zhizheng Tongbao series was issued under Emperor Huizong's distant successor Toghon Temür, the last Yuan emperor, during a period of catastrophic dynastic collapse. Massive flooding of the Yellow River in 1344 displaced hundreds of thousands and triggered the rebel movements — Red Turbans chief among them — that would ultimately drive the Mongols from China entirely. Copper cash continued to be struck even as Ming forces closed in on Dadu.
The two-cash denomination of this series is distinguished by a reverse inscription denoting value, an unusual feature for Song and Yuan-era cash that reflects the monetary disorder of the period.
