| Reverse description | Central square perforation flanked by four boldly cast Chinese characters in high relief, arranged in cruciform disposition within the flat field. Reading clockwise from the top: 富 (Phú, wealth) above, 彡 (to the right, likely an abbreviated decorative or value indicator), 壽 (Thọ, longevity) below, and 男 (Nam, male/south) to the left. The combination of auspicious characters — wealth, longevity — reflects the traditional Vietnamese-Nguyễn numismatic convention of inscribing propitious phrases on the reverse. A plain raised rim borders the coin. |
