| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform reading order around a central square hole, reading top-to-bottom then right-to-left: 景興用寶 (Cảnh Hưng Dụng Bảo). The characters are cast in relief within a plain inner rim bordering the square perforation, and an outer raised rim encircles the coin. The calligraphy is executed in standard regular script (kaishu), with moderately bold strokes typical of Vietnamese Lê dynasty cash coinage. The field between the legends and the outer rim is flat and unadorned. |
