The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, made of zinc and weighing 2.01g, was issued during the reign of Emperor Le Huan (1662-1671). It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a square hole in the center, which was a common feature of coins from this era in Vietnam. This design element was used to make it easier for people to string the coins together, as well as to make them easier to handle and count.
