| Obverse description | Four Chinese ideograms in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, read in the traditional sequence: top, bottom, right, left. The inscription reads 保泰通寶 (Bảo Thái Thông Bảo), denoting the Bảo Thái reign era of Emperor Lê Dụ Tông (1720–1729) and signifying 'universal currency.' The characters are boldly rendered within the coin's raised inner rim, with each ideogram occupying one quadrant of the field. |
