| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese seal-script characters arranged in cruciform order, reading top to bottom and right to left: 景 (Cảnh), 興 (Hưng), 通 (Thông), 寶 (Bảo). The legend, translating as 'Cảnh Hưng Universal Currency,' references the reign era of Lê Hiển Tông (1740–1786). Characters are boldly rendered in the seal script (篆書) style within an open field, bounded by a plain inner rim and a raised outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Plain reverse featuring a central square hole surrounded by a raised inner rim and a wider raised outer rim. Two pairs of inward-facing crescents are positioned symmetrically in the left and right fields between the inner and outer rims, a distinguishing mark for this variety. The intervening field is otherwise blank. |
