| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole, reading top-to-bottom then right-to-left in regular script (kaishu). The legend 順天大寶 (Thuận Thiên Đại Bảo) is rendered in bold, well-formed strokes within the round coin field. The characters occupy the four cardinal positions around the perforation, with the field between the legend and the outer raised rim left plain. The inscription translates as 'Great Treasure of the Thuận Thiên era,' referencing the reign of Emperor Lý Thái Tổ (1010–1028). |
