Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted between 1740 and 1776, features a unique design element - a small dot on the reverse side, known as the "Cự Bảo" or "Cash dot." This dot was added to the coin to indicate its authenticity and to distinguish it from counterfeit coins that were prevalent at the time. The presence of the dot on the coin signifies that it was issued by the official mint of the Empire of Vietnam and guarantees its value. This feature is quite rare in coins from this time period and makes the 1 Cash coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
