| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four large Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional cross reading order: top to bottom and right to left. The inscription reads 'Xian Feng Zhong Bao' (咸豐重寶), identifying the reign title of the Xianfeng Emperor and denoting the coin as 'heavy currency.' The characters are boldly rendered in the field with no additional decorative elements, consistent with standard Qing dynasty cash coin typology. |
