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 the rise of the Tây Sơn brothers, who overthrew the ruling Nguyễn dynasty and established their own rule. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Cảnh Thịnh (also known as Thông Bảo), who ruled from 1792 to 1801. Despite the political upheaval of the time, the coin still bears the traditional design and weight of a 1 Cash coin, indicating the continuity of traditional currency and trade during this period.
