| Obverse description | Cast zinc cash coin of traditional East Asian form, featuring a central square perforation surrounded by a raised square inner rim. The four-character reign legend 治元通寶 (Trị Nguyên Thông Bảo) is disposed in the customary cruciform arrangement in regular script (kaishu): 治 above, 元 below, 通 to the right, and 寶 to the left of the central square hole. The characters are rendered in bold relief against a flat, unadorned field. The outer rim is raised and slightly irregular, consistent with the hand-casting technique employed during this brief rebel issue. |

| Reverse description | Plain, largely featureless reverse with a central square perforation and raised square inner rim, typical of Vietnamese cast cash coinage of this period. The field shows evidence of crude casting with an uneven surface texture and heavy patination throughout. A crescent and a dot are present as mint or workshop marks in the fields flanking the central square hole, serving as the distinguishing variety markers for this emission as catalogued by Barker and Toda. The outer rim is raised and plain, with no additional inscription or decorative element. |
