The large characters at the extreme right and extreme left of the obverse are not Chinese, but rather Daoist "magic writing." Regarding the very large character on the left, the upper half is "magic writing" for the Chinese character lei, which means "thunder" and refers to the "God of Thunder." The lower part is "magic writing" for the Chinese character ling, which means "to order." Likely cast in the late Qing dynasty.
