Beschrijving voorzijde Four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform order around a central square hole, reading clockwise from the top: 太 (tài), 通 (tōng), 平 (píng), 寶 (bǎo), forming the reign legend 太平通寶 (Thái Bình Thông Bảo). The characters are rendered in a bold, slightly irregular cast style typical of Vietnamese cash coinage of the Nguyễn Lords period. A raised inner rim frames the square central perforation, and a plain outer border encircles the coin. The field shows characteristic casting texture with light patination.

Beschrijving keerzijde Plain, largely flat field surrounding the central square hole, with two raised dots positioned side by side above the perforation. The reverse is otherwise devoid of inscription or decorative elements, with a raised inner rim bordering the square hole and a plain outer rim encircling the flan. The two dots serve as a mint or issue control mark distinguishing this variety from the no-dot and one-dot reverse variants. Surface shows even casting texture with green-brown patination consistent with age.

Aanvullende informatie

The Nguyễn Lords of Đàng Trong issued their own cash coins independently of the Lê emperors they nominally served, a quiet assertion of autonomous authority in the southern domains. The Thái Bình Thông Bảo series spans the administrations of Nguyễn Phúc Thái and Nguyễn Phúc Chu — a period of aggressive southward expansion into former Cham and Khmer territories that demanded a functioning local monetary supply well beyond what could arrive from the north.

Barker 83.5 is distinguished within the series by specific reverse calligraphy variants catalogued by Joseph Barker through die-comparison work on Southeast Asian cash coinage.
