Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted between 1358 and 1369, features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Đại Trị" (大治) in Regular script, which is a style of Chinese calligraphy, while the reverse side features the Vietnamese phrase "Nguyên Bảo" (元寶) in the same script. This blending of cultures and languages reflects the complex history and cultural exchange between Vietnam and China during the time period.
