| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in the traditional cross pattern, read top to bottom and right to left in regular script (kaishu). The four ideograms 景興通寶 (Cảnh Hưng Thông Bảo) occupy the top, bottom, right, and left positions respectively around the central perforation. The characters are boldly rendered within a plain inner rim and an outer raised rim, with no additional decorative elements in the field. |

| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked on the left and right by two symmetrical archaic or seal-script characters of uncertain reading, each consisting of stylized curvilinear strokes resembling scrolled or wave-like forms. The characters are separated by the square perforation and are positioned horizontally across the reverse field. A plain inner rim and a raised outer rim frame the design, with no additional ornamentation above or below the hole. |
