| Obverse description | Cast iron cash coin of typical Northern Song dynasty form, featuring a central square hole surrounded by a plain inner rim. The four-character inscription 至和重寶 (Zhihe Zhongbao) is arranged in standard reading order (top, bottom, right, left) in regular script (kaishu), with boldly cast raised characters set within the coin's field. The outer rim is broad and slightly raised, and the coin surface shows heavy iron oxidation consistent with age and burial. |
