Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Hưng (1740-1786), features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Thông Bảo" in Regular script, which is a style of Chinese calligraphy, while the reverse side features the contracted form "Bảo" in a more simplified script. This blend of scripts reflects the cultural influences of both China and Vietnam on the Empire's currency during that time period.
