Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted between 1440 and 1442, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and historical heritage. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a dragon, which symbolizes power and strength, while on the other side, there is an image of a phoenix, which represents peace and prosperity. This design combination represents the balance and harmony that the Vietnamese culture values. Additionally, the coin's weight of 3.67 grams and its composition of copper make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
