| Obverse description | Round cast copper cash coin featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a plain raised rim on both inner and outer edges. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in the traditional reading order — top, bottom, right, left — around the central square hole, reading 景興通寶 (Cảnh Hưng Thông Bảo). The characters are bold and well-formed, filling the quadrants of the coin field evenly. The flat field between the inner and outer rims is unadorned. The overall style is consistent with Vietnamese imperial cast coinage of the Later Lê Dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Plain reverse with a central square perforation framed by a raised square rim, surrounded by a smooth flat field and a raised outer circular rim. A single raised dot appears above the square hole in the upper field, serving as the primary distinguishing mark of this variety (Toda#102). The reverse is otherwise entirely blank, devoid of further inscription or decorative elements, consistent with standard Vietnamese cast cash coinage practice of the period. |
