Comment
These coins were minted from April 8th to August 13th, 1776 in Thuận-Hóa, which had been captured from the Nguyễn Lords.Interesting fact
The 1 Cash - Cảnh Hưng (Thuận Bảo) ND (1776) coin from the Empire of Vietnam was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was produced during a time of great turmoil in Vietnam's history. The country was facing political instability, economic struggles, and foreign invasions, which made it difficult to maintain a stable currency. Despite these challenges, the Empire of Vietnam was able to produce this coin, which not only served as a means of exchange but also represented the country's resilience and determination to maintain its independence.
