Comment
It was cast by the Vietnamese during the Qing Dynasty (the Chinese Emperor Qianlong occupied northern Vietnam). This time under Vietnamese King Le Chieu Thong (1787-1788).Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, made of Brass, features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Thông Bảo" in Vietnamese, which means "Generalissimo" or "Great General," while the reverse side features the Chinese characters "Càn Long" (干隆), which means "Prosperous and Flourishing." This blend of languages and cultures reflects the complex history and cultural exchange between Vietnam and China during the time period.
