| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large, boldly incused rendering of the Chinese character '富' (Fu, meaning 'wealth'), executed in a stylized, architecturally geometric form with strong rectilinear strokes. The character occupies nearly the full diameter of the coin's inner field and is enclosed within a raised inner border. The design is minimalist and monumental in character, with no additional legend or peripheral inscription, reflecting an aesthetic intended to appeal to the local Vietnamese and Chinese mercantile communities of French Indochina. |
