| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large flaming pearl rendered in high relief, depicting a stylized solar disc encircled by radiating flames and cloud scrolls. The four Chinese characters of the imperial reign title 保大寳鑑 (Bao Dai Bao Chien) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central motif, one character at each cardinal point. Two small suspension holes are pierced at the top and bottom edges of the coin, indicating this piece was intended to be worn or displayed as a charm or presentation piece. |

A small rectangular cartouche bearing what appears to be a maker's or artisan's seal is visible in the lower right field. Two small suspension holes are pierced at the top and bottom edges, consistent with the obverse. |
