Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Hưng (Tống Bảo), who ruled the Empire of Vietnam from 1740 to 1742. This was a period of political instability and conflict, as the empire faced challenges from both internal and external threats. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and determination of the Vietnamese people during this time.
