| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in cruciform reading order: top, bottom, right, left, forming the four-character legend 永壽通寶 (Vĩnh Thọ Thông Bảo). The characters are rendered in bold, well-spaced strokes within the flat coin field, with no additional decorative elements, borders, or rim ornamentation. The surface shows the typical rough texture characteristic of Vietnamese cast copper cash coinage of the Lê dynasty period. |
