| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion, read in the traditional sequence of top, bottom, right, left. The four-character reign title legend 嘉靖通寶 (Jiajing Tongbao) is rendered in regular script (kaishu), with each character occupying one of the four cardinal positions within the broad, flat field. The coin's raised rim is well-defined, encircling the legend uniformly. |
