| Obverse description | Cast brass cash coin in the traditional East Asian style, featuring a central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform fashion and read top-to-bottom, right-to-left. The legend 啓定通寳 (Khải Định Thông Bảo) surrounds the central perforation within a plain raised rim. The characters are boldly rendered in high relief against a flat field, typical of Vietnamese Nguyễn dynasty cast coinage. The obverse surface shows the characteristic granular texture of sand-cast production. |
