| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four large Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion within a raised rim. Reading clockwise from the top, the characters 寛 (Kan), 通 (Tsū), 永 (Ei), and 寳 (Hō) form the coin's denomination legend 寛永通寳 (Kan'ei Tsūhō), signifying 'Kan'ei currency.' The character 寛 (Kan) at the top exhibits a notably elongated lower tail, a distinguishing feature of this pattern type. The field is flat with a slightly granular texture consistent with cast production, and the characters are rendered in bold relief within a plain circular border. |
