安南绍治通宝四美。重15.04 克。正面为四美，下有大海，中央三棵树。反面：绍治通宝。原味十足，图文锐利，币面平滑，展现窑藏老包浆。底板呈现出令人愉悦的鸽子灰色，并间有夕阳晚霞及深虹彩包浆，别树一格。虽因有孔而得细节评分，但显然经细心修护。瑕不掩瑜，依然精緻悦目。此珍品描绘的四美，是东方的太阳、西方的盈月、心之星座（Tam Tuc）和云中的行星。 据说这些代表Hao Canh（微笑风景）、Lang Than（快乐一天）、Thuong Tam（陶醉之心）和Lac Su（愉悦追求）。 左上角的心形星座据说代表心宿二恆星，外边的两颗星也是蝎子女神的一部分。 根据中国占星家的说法，心宿二象徵著皇帝之子，左星代表太子，右星代表第二位儿子，两星永不相见，喻意帝皇之子永不干戈相向。ANNAM.
