| Reverse description | Cast brass reverse displaying four Chinese characters in traditional regular script arranged around the central square perforation, reading: 準 (Chuẩn, top), 二 (Nhị, right), 文 (Văn, bottom), 十 (Thập, left), together forming 準二十文 (Chuẩn Nhị Thập Văn — 'Equal to Twenty Văn'), declaring the official exchange value of the note-coin. Characters are rendered in bold raised relief with a flat surrounding field. The raised inner square rim frames the perforation cleanly, and the broad outer rim is plain and unadorned. |
