Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, made of Copper and weighing 1.72g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam's history. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Thịnh (Đại Bảo), who ruled from 1792 to 1801, a period marked by political instability, wars with neighboring countries, and the rise of the Tây Sơn dynasty, which eventually overthrew the Nguyễn dynasty, under which this coin was minted. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people.
