Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Đàng Ngoài (Empire of Vietnam) era, which was a time of great cultural and economic development in Vietnam's history. The coin's design, featuring the image of a dragon and the inscription "Thông Bảo," reflects the importance of Buddhism and the emperor's role as a spiritual leader during this period. Additionally, the use of bronze as the material for the coin highlights the advanced metalworking techniques that were developed in Vietnam during this time.
