This attribution is incorrect in Toda, and also Barker. It is part of the An-phap private trade coinage. This piece at its full diameter issued c. 1580. Note that Barker showed all of the “maybes” but then did not explain what they really are. I have this coin, at 23mm, which cost 99 cents. Barker shows one at 24.4mm which is the original full size as rarity 1. The only thing making his more rare is the extra 1.4mm. He got $1160 for his BECAUSE he implied it is a Ly Dynasty issue.
Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Lý Thái Tông (1039-1041), features a unique design that reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the time. The coin bears an image of a dragon, which symbolizes strength, power, and good luck in Vietnamese culture. Additionally, the coin's design includes a stylized representation of a phoenix, which is a symbol of prosperity and longevity. The combination of these two symbols on the coin reflects the Empire's emphasis on balance and harmony between the natural world and human society.
