| Obverse description | The obverse field, surrounding the central circular hole, bears two distinct types of inscription in raised relief: standard traditional Chinese characters arranged in vertical columns occupying the inner field, and Taoist talismanic script characters arranged along the outer border. The legends invoke protective and apotropaic formulas associated with Taoist exorcism. |
