Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters and symbols, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the time period. The coin's inscription includes the Vietnamese name "Cảnh Hưng" (meaning "Prosperity and Good Fortune") written in seal script, as well as the Chinese characters "Thông Bảo" (meaning "Commonwealth" or "Generalissimo") and "ND" (representing the reign period of Emperor Nguyễn Đức). This fusion of languages and cultures is a testament to the rich history and diversity of Vietnam.
