| Reverse description | The reverse is plain and uninscribed, featuring a central square perforation bordered by a raised square rim. A single concentric inner ring is faintly visible in the field, a characteristic feature of cast Vietnamese cash coins of the Trần dynasty. The flat field bears no additional devices, legends, or mintmarks, and the surface exhibits a uniform patina of green and blue-grey verdigris consistent with extended age and use. |

| Additional information |
The Thiệu Long reign period corresponds to the immediate aftermath of the first Mongol invasion of Đại Việt in 1258, when Kublai Khan's forces under Uriyangkhadai briefly occupied Thăng Long before being driven out. The Trần court, having fled by boat down the Red River, returned to rebuild both the capital and its institutions — coinage among them. Cash issues from this period are poorly documented in Vietnamese numismatic literature, and Barker's attribution remains one of the few systematic reference points for this reign type.
