Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Hưng (also known as Tống Bảo or Sỉu) of the Empire of Vietnam, who ruled from 1740 to 1786. This coin is a standard circulation coin made of copper and weighs 3.13 grams. It is interesting to note that the Empire of Vietnam was a brief period in Vietnamese history, lasting only from 1740 to 1789, and this coin was produced during that time.
