| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in the traditional reading order — top, bottom, right, left — around the central hole, reading 景興中寶 (Cảnh Hưng Trung Bảo). The characters are rendered in bold relief against a flat field, with a plain raised outer rim encircling the coin. The overall style is consistent with Vietnamese cast coinage of the Lê Hiển Tông reign era. |
