Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Hưng (also known as Cự Bảo) of the Tây Sơn dynasty, who ruled from 1740 to 1776. This was a period of political instability and conflict, as the Tây Sơn dynasty was struggling to maintain its power and territory in the face of threats from neighboring kingdoms and internal rebellions. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people during this time.
