| Reverse description | Plain and uninscribed uniface reverse, displaying only the raised inner rim bordering the central square perforation and a raised outer rim at the coin's edge. The flat field between the rims is entirely devoid of decoration, legend, or mint marks, consistent with standard Vietnamese Trần dynasty cast cash coinage practice. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Trần Dụ Tông, whose reign was marked by administrative neglect and a court increasingly consumed by factionalism, these cash coins circulated during one of the more troubled stretches of the Trần dynasty. Dụ Tông's indifference to governance left real power fragmented among noble cliques, and the monetary system reflected that disorder — multiple coin types were struck with inconsistent quality across the period.
The clerical script variety distinguished from the cursive-script issues of the same reign type, Hartill cataloguing them separately on that basis alone.
