| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim, with four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) occupying the four cardinal fields. The four-character reign legend reads clockwise from the top: 延 (top), 通 (right), 寧 (bottom), 寶 (left), following the standard Vietnamese cash coin reading convention of top-bottom, right-left. The characters are boldly cast in relief against a flat field, with a broad, plain outer rim encircling the entire design. The coin exhibits a dark patina with areas of copper-red highlighting the raised legends. |
