| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised inner rim. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading clockwise from top: 光 (Quang), 寶 (Bảo), 中 (Trung), 通 (Thông), forming the legend 光中通寶 (Quang Trung Thông Bảo). A horizontal line appears below the square hole, serving as the distinguishing variety marker per Toda classification. The coin is bounded by raised inner and outer rims, with a broad flat field between the legend and the outer rim. |
