| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform order around a central square hole, reading clockwise from top: 景 (Cảnh), 通 (Thông), 統 (Thống), 寶 (Bảo), forming the legend Cảnh Thống Thông Bảo. The characters are bold and well-defined within a plain raised rim, cast in the traditional Vietnamese cash coin style of the Lê dynasty. The field is flat and unadorned save for the inscription. No additional ornamental devices are present. |
