| Reverse description | Plain reverse field centred by a square perforation with a raised inner square rim and an outer raised circular rim. Two Chinese characters in regular script are positioned flanking the central square hole — 六 (Lục, "six") to the left and 文 (Văn) to the right — denoting the coin's denomination of six văn. The surfaces are otherwise unadorned, consistent with the austere reverse style of Vietnamese cast cash coins of the period. |
