| Obverse description | Central square perforation characteristic of East Asian cash coinage, surrounded by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform fashion and read in the traditional sequence: top, bottom, right, left. The four-character legend 景興大寶 (Cảnh Hưng Đại Bảo) fills the quadrants between the central hole and the plain raised rim. The characters are rendered in bold relief with a slightly coarse cast finish typical of Vietnamese Lê dynasty coinage of the period. No inner or outer rim ropes are present; the field between the characters and the rim is plain. |
