| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin of standard Vietnamese-Chinese form, featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are disposed in the four cardinal positions around the central hole, reading clockwise from the top: 政 (Chính), 平 (Bình), 通 (Thông), 寶 (Bảo). The characters are bold and well-defined within the inner field, flanked by a raised inner square rim and a broad outer raised rim. The coin exhibits a dark patina consistent with its age and copper alloy composition. |
