| 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. |

| Additional information |
The Cẩm Giang Vương rebellion of 1509 was one of several violent succession crises that convulsed the Lê dynasty during the early sixteenth century. Lê Oanh — the prince behind this issue — seized the throne briefly as Emperor Tương Dực after deposing and killing Lê Tuấn, whose own reign had been marked by cruelty severe enough to drive the court into open revolt. Rebel coinages from these interregna are rarely documented with precision, and Toda's catalog remains the principal reference for distinguishing them from orthodox imperial issues.
