| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese ideograms arranged in cruciform fashion around the perforation, read in the traditional sequence of top, bottom, right, left. The four-character reign legend 景興通寶 (Cảnh Hưng Thông Bảo) is rendered in regular script (kaishu) in raised relief against a flat field, framed by a plain inner rim surrounding the square hole and a raised outer border. The characters are boldly cast with moderate relief typical of Vietnamese cash coinage of the Lê dynasty period. |
