| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional reading order: top, right, bottom, left around a central square perforation. The characters 天佑通寶 (Tianyou Tongbao) are boldly rendered with clean, well-defined strokes rising from a flat, unadorned field. A raised square rim surrounds the central hole, and a plain outer rim frames the entire design. The legends are crisp and deeply cast, reflecting the standard calligraphic conventions of mid-14th century Chinese cash coinage. |
