Comment
This type uses a contracted form of Bao. Toda also lists an example with a non-contacted Bao (Toda#125); however, confirmation is needed on if that type actually exists.Interesting fact
The 1 Cash - Cảnh Hưng (Trung Bảo) ND (1740-1776) coin from the Empire of Vietnam was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, what's interesting is that the coin was also used as a form of currency in other parts of Southeast Asia, including Cambodia and Laos, due to the Empire of Vietnam's influence in the region. This highlights the coin's cultural and historical significance, as it was not only used for transactions within Vietnam but also played a role in regional trade and commerce.
