| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin bearing a central square perforation surrounded by a plain inner rim. Four Chinese characters are disposed in cruciform arrangement around the central hole, reading clockwise from the top: 昌 (Xương), 符 (Phù), 通 (Thông), 寶 (Bảo), constituting the reign era legend of Trần Phế Đế (1377–1388). The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) in low relief against a flat field. The coin exhibits a distinctive green patina consistent with long burial, with areas of encrustment across the surface. |
