| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters rendered in clerical script (lệ thư) arranged in cruciform reading order — top to bottom, right to left — around a central square perforation: 大 (top), 通 (right), 治 (bottom), 寶 (left), forming the legend 大治通寶 (Đại Trị Thông Bảo). The characters are boldly cast in raised relief within a plain, unadorned field, with a raised inner rim surrounding the square hole and a raised outer rim defining the coin's periphery. The overall style is typical of Vietnamese Trần dynasty cast coinage, closely related to contemporary Chinese numismatic conventions. |

| 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. |
