Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, made of zinc and weighing 1.91g, was issued during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Hưng (Thông Bảo) between 1740 and 1786. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and was an important part of the Vietnamese monetary system. It's interesting to note that the use of zinc in coin production was a common practice in many parts of the world during this time period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and durable material. However, the fact that this coin was produced during a time of political stability and economic growth under Emperor Cảnh Hưng's rule makes it a unique and interesting piece of history.
