| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a plain raised inner rim, with four Chinese ideograms arranged in cruciform reading order — top, bottom, right, left — in the elegant Slender Gold (Shoujin) calligraphic style attributed to Emperor Huizong. The characters 大觀通寶 (Da Guan Tong Bao) occupy the four cardinal fields between the central aperture and the outer raised rim. The coin surface shows a patinated bronze field with no additional ornament or decorative elements. The outer rim is slightly raised and well-defined, framing the composition. |
