| Obverse description | Cast brass coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional reading order: top to bottom, right to left. The character 咸 (Xian) appears above the square hole, 豐 (Feng) below, 重 (Zhong) to the right, and 寶 (Bao) to the left, together forming the reign title inscription 咸豐重寶 (Xianfeng Zhongbao), meaning 'Xianfeng Heavy Currency.' The characters are boldly cast in relief against a flat, unadorned field, with a plain raised rim encircling the coin. |
