| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin featuring four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform reading order (top, bottom, right, left) around a central square perforation. The legend reads 泰德通寶 (Thái Đức Thông Bảo), rendered in regular script (kaishu). The characters are raised in relief against a flat, unadorned field, with wide rims framing both the outer edge and the inner square hole. The overall fabric is typical of Vietnamese cast coinage of the late eighteenth century, with a plain, slightly irregular surface consistent with sand-cast production. |
