| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast brass cash coin featuring four Chinese characters arranged in the traditional cross pattern around a central square perforation. The inscription reads clockwise from top: 嘉 (Gia), 寶 (Bảo) at bottom, 隆 (Long) at right, and 通 (Thông) at left, following the conventional top-bottom-right-left reading order. Each character is rendered in regular script (kaishu) within its respective quadrant of the flat field, separated by the square central hole. The coin is bordered by a raised inner rim encircling the square hole and an outer rim defining the coin's edge, consistent with Vietnamese Nguyễn dynasty cast coinage of the early nineteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gia Long, born Nguyễn Ánh, spent nearly two decades fighting to reunify Vietnam before finally defeating the Tây Sơn dynasty in 1802 with considerable assistance from French missionary Pigneau de Béhaine's recruited volunteers. The cash coinage issued under his reign name was among the first acts of a unified imperial administration stretching from the Chinese border to the Gulf of Thailand — the first time that territory had been governed as a single entity.
The large-size variant documented under Barker 99.1 is distinguished from the more common small-size issue by die geometry rather than any single obvious feature, and misattribution between the two is frequent in general-market listings.
