| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin with a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in the traditional cross pattern around the central hole, reading top-to-bottom then right-to-left: 嘉 (top), 通 (right), 隆 (bottom), 寶 (left), forming the reign title and currency legend 嘉隆通寶 (Gia Long Thông Bảo). The characters are bold and well-defined in relief against a flat field. A raised circular rim borders the coin's outer edge. |
