| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters arranged around the central square hole in a cross configuration, reading 大定通寶 (Đại Định Thông Bảo). The characters are rendered in standard script (kaishu) within a raised circular border, with the character 大 positioned at the top, 定 to the right, 通 at the bottom, and 寶 to the left — a distribution noted as atypical from the standard reading order, suggesting a possible private or unofficial issue. The fields between the characters are plain. The coin displays the broad flat rim characteristic of Vietnamese cast cash coinage of the Lý dynasty period. |
