Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese cultural influences in its design. The coin's inscription, "Đại Trị," is written in the ancient Vietnamese script known as "Grass Script" (Chữ Nôm), while the coin's design also incorporates elements of Chinese culture, such as the use of the Chinese character for "cash" (錢) on the coin's reverse side. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between Vietnam and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
