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 Chữ Nôm, which was derived from Chinese characters. At the same time, the coin's design also incorporates elements of traditional Chinese currency, such as the use of a square hole in the center and the depiction of a dragon on the 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.
