| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized dragon-mask or mythological beast face (long mặt) rendered in relief, facing outward with flanking wings or flame motifs and a sun-like orb at its center. Four large Chinese characters — 保 (upper right), 大 (upper left), 寳 (right), 鑑 (left) — are arranged symmetrically around the central device, reading 保大寳鑑 (Bảo Đại Bảo Giám, meaning 'Bao Dai Imperial Seal'). The entire design is enclosed within a dotted inner border running along the rim. Two small pellets or suspension holes are visible at the top and bottom of the flan, consistent with this piece's use as a ceremonial or ornamental object. |
