| Obverse description | Four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in the traditional cruciform reading order — top, bottom, right, left — around a central square perforation: 天 (tiān) at top, 定 (dìng) at left, 通 (tōng) at right, and 寶 (bǎo) at bottom, together reading 天定通寶 (Tianding Tongbao). The characters are boldly cast in high relief with broad strokes, filling the fields generously between the square central hole and the plain raised rim. The flat field shows typical patination consistent with cast bronze of the late Yuan rebel-state period. No additional marks, symbols, or decorative elements appear in the field. |
