| Obverse description | Rectangular cast silver ingot-form piece with a double-line recessed border framing the field. Five Chữ Hán (Sino-Vietnamese) characters are arranged vertically in a single central column reading top to bottom: 嗣德年造庚申 — denoting the reign title Tự Đức (嗣德), the year of manufacture (年造), and the cyclical year Canh Thân (庚申), corresponding to 1860. The characters are rendered in bold relief with a slightly archaic, hand-engraved style typical of Nguyễn dynasty cast currency. The lowermost characters appear within a recessed cartouche. The overall surface exhibits the characteristic irregular texture of a hand-cast piece. |
