Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Đinh (970-979), features an unusual design element - a stylized dragon on the obverse side. This dragon motif was a symbol of the emperor's power and authority, and it was believed to bring good luck and prosperity to the kingdom. The use of a dragon on the coin was also a nod to the Chinese influence on Vietnamese culture and currency at the time.
