Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam. The Empire of Vietnam, also known as the Tây Sơn dynasty, was a short-lived but significant period in Vietnamese history, marked by political instability, wars, and cultural exchange. The coin's design, featuring a double rim and the inscription "Cảnh Thịnh" (meaning "Prosperous Reign"), reflects the influence of Chinese culture on Vietnam during this time. Despite the challenges faced by the Empire of Vietnam, this coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Vietnamese people.
