| Obverse description | Cast iron cash coin with a central square perforation, bearing four Chinese ideograms in Regular script (Kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order around the central hole. The reign title inscription reads clockwise: 嘉 (Jia, top), 定 (Ding, right), 永 (Yong, bottom), 寶 (Bao, left), forming the legend 嘉定永寶 (Jiading Yongbao), meaning 'Everlasting Currency of the Jiading era.' The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat field, with relatively wide rims framing the design. |
