| Reverse description | Rectangular cast gold reverse with a plain recessed border enclosing four vertically arranged incused Chữ Hán characters reading 黃金壹兩 (Hoàng Kim Nhất Lượng), meaning 'Yellow Gold, One Lang (tael).' The characters are deeply cut in a bold calligraphic style consistent with Nguyễn dynasty engraving practice. The rough, striated gold surface reflects the cast manufacture of the piece, with slightly irregular edges characteristic of this emission. |
