| Reverse description | Rectangular cast silver bar with an irregular raised border framing a plain field. Four large Chinese characters in traditional regular script (kaishu) are arranged vertically in a single column reading top to bottom: 精銀壹兩 (Tinh Ngân Nhất Lạng, meaning 'Pure Silver One Lang'). The characters are boldly struck in high relief, denoting both the fineness and denomination of the bar. The surrounding field retains the characteristic rough texture of cast silver production, consistent with Vietnamese imperial mint practices of the period. |
