The outer raised rim mirrors that of the obverse in width and profile. The surfaces show typical casting texture consistent with Vietnamese cash coinage production of the Lê Dynasty period. |

| Additional information |
Cảnh Hưng was the reign title of Lê Hiển Tông, who ruled nominally while the Trịnh lords exercised actual authority in the north — a political fiction that held for decades. The dot variety catalogued by Barker and Toda distinguishes this piece from the more common undotted emission, a minor die difference with meaningful implications for attribution given how freely cash coins circulated across regional Trịnh-controlled mints during this period.
