| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four large Chữ Hán (Chinese-style) characters arranged in cruciform reading order: 紹 (top), 通 (right), 治 (bottom), 寶 (left), forming the reign-title legend 紹治通寶 (Thiệu Trị Thông Bảo). The characters are boldly incuse-cast in a clean, unadorned field typical of Vietnamese imperial cash coinage. The coin bears a raised rim encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Central square hole surrounded by the denomination characters 二 (two, at top) and 儀 (at bottom), with a radiant sun depicted to the right and a crescent moon or celestial orb to the left, all set among multiple stylized cloud motifs distributed across the field. The combination of sun, moon, and auspicious clouds is a classic Vietnamese imperial decorative convention symbolizing celestial harmony and imperial authority. |
