Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted between 1740 and 1776, features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the Vietnamese phrase "Cảnh Hưng" (meaning "Prosperity and Good Fortune"), while the reverse side features the Chinese characters "Thông Bảo" (meaning "Generalissimo's Treasure"). This blend of languages and cultures reflects the complex history and cultural exchange between Vietnam and China during this time period.
