| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring a central square perforation surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform reading order: 平 (top), 南 (bottom), 通 (right), 寶 (left), forming the legend 'Bình Nam Thông Bảo' (Peaceful South Circulating Treasure). The characters are rendered in standard script (kaishu) within a plain inner rim, with a raised outer rim encircling the flat field. The surfaces display the characteristically uneven texture of sand-cast production, with patination consistent with age. |
