| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order: top, right, bottom, left around a central square perforation. The characters 天佑通寶 (Tianyou Tongbao) are boldly rendered in raised relief against the flat field, with a plain raised inner rim surrounding the square hole and a plain outer rim encircling the coin. The script is clearly formed and typical of late Yuan-period rebel coinage issued under Zhang Shicheng's Dazhou regime. |
