| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin with a central square perforation surrounded by a plain raised rim on both the inner and outer borders. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left: 景興通寶 (Cảnh Hưng Thông Bảo). The characters are boldly cast in relief within a flat, unadorned field, consistent with Vietnamese Lê dynasty cash coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Plain field with inner and outer raised rims framing the central square perforation. A single Chinese character in regular script, 一 (Nhất; One), is cast in relief below the central hole, serving as a denomination or batch marker. The remainder of the reverse field is devoid of additional ornament, typical of Vietnamese cast cash issues of this period. |
