| Reverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four quadrants bearing a four-line poetic inscription in classical Chinese characters, cast in bold relief and reading in vertical columns around the aperture. The legend 玦泗千年化 丹爐萬世傳 樹勳崇有德 所寶惟賢 is distributed across the field, each phrase occupying a column and conveying a Confucian moral sentiment praising virtue and enduring legacy. The characters are executed in a formal clerical script style consistent with Vietnamese imperial casting conventions of the Tự Đức reign. The plain, unadorned field is characteristic of high-value gold cash coins produced for the Nguyễn court. |
