| Obverse description | Round copper cash coin with a central square perforation. Four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole reading clockwise: 元 祐 通 寶 (Nguyên Hựu Thông Bảo), denoting the reign title and denomination. The characters are rendered in standard script (kaishu) with moderate relief against a flat, unadorned field. The coin is bordered by a plain raised rim on both the inner edge of the square hole and the outer circumference. The surface displays an aged blue-green patina consistent with buried copper alloy coinage of the Trần dynasty period. |
