Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and scripts. The coin bears the inscription "Cảnh Hưng" (meaning "Prosperity and Good Fortune") in Regular script, along with a crescent and dot symbol, which is a common motif in Vietnamese culture. This blend of traditional Vietnamese design elements and Chinese characters reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the time period in which the coin was minted.
