Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Lê Nhân Tông, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in Vietnam. The coin's design, featuring a square hole in the center, was intended to make it easier to string together multiple coins for large transactions. This design feature was unique to Vietnamese coins of the time and reflects the country's innovative approach to currency design during this period.
