| Obverse description | Cast round coin with a central square hole, as is characteristic of Vietnamese and Chinese cash coinage. Four Chinese ideograms in regular script (kaishu) are disposed in the four quadrants around the central perforation, reading top to bottom and then right to left. The legend 紹治通寳 (Thiệu Trị Thông Bảo) translates as 'Thiệu Trị universal currency,' identifying the reign of Emperor Thiệu Trị (1841–1847). The raised characters stand in relief against a flat field, bordered by inner and outer raised rims typical of Vietnamese imperial cash coinage of the Nguyễn dynasty. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is uniface and essentially plain, featuring only the raised inner rim surrounding the square central perforation and the outer rim encircling the flat, unadorned field. No inscriptions, symbols, or decorative motifs are present. The casting surface shows the characteristic texture of Vietnamese Nguyễn dynasty cash coinage production. |
