| Obverse description | Round cast copper coin featuring a central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion within the coin's field, reading clockwise: 太平聖寶 (Thái Bình Thánh Bảo). The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) and are separated by plain raised rims bordering the square perforation. The outer rim is raised and unadorned. The coin displays a green and brown patina consistent with age and burial, with surface corrosion typical of cast Vietnamese cash coinage of the early sixteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Plain and unadorned reverse with a central square hole surrounded by a flat, featureless field. A raised outer rim frames the coin. The surface exhibits heavy mottled patina in shades of turquoise green, russet brown, and ochre, indicative of long-term oxidation. No legends, symbols, or mint marks are present on this face, which is characteristic of Vietnamese rebel-issue cash coinage of the period. |
