| Obverse description | Four Chinese ideograms arranged in a cruciform pattern, read top to bottom and right to left, surrounding a solar disc at the centre of the field. The characters 明命通寶 (Minh Mạng Thông Bảo) constitute the principal legend, identifying the reigning emperor and denoting universal currency. The composition is symmetrical and follows traditional Vietnamese imperial coin design conventions, with the characters rendered in regular script (楷書) within a plain, unbordered field. |
