Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Hưng (also known as Thông Bảo or Thái) of the Empire of Vietnam, who ruled from 1740 to 1786. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the emperor to replace the old system of bartering and to promote trade and commerce in the country. The coin was made of copper and had a standardized weight of 4.02 grams, which was a significant innovation at the time.
