| Obverse description | The obverse features four large Chinese characters arranged in a cruciform pattern around a central motif: 保 (Bảo) at top, 寳 (Bảo) at right, 鑑 (Giám) at left, and 大 (Đại) at bottom, together reading 保大寳鑑 (Bảo Đại Bảo Giám). At the centre of the field, a stylised flaming sun or lotus device is rendered in low relief, serving as the focal point of the composition. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border running along the coin's circumference. Two small suspension holes are pierced at the top and bottom of the flan, indicating this piece was intended to be worn or suspended. The execution is characteristic of Vietnamese imperial court goldwork of the Nguyễn dynasty period. |
