Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese influences in its design. The coin's inscription, "Đại Trị," is written in the ancient Vietnamese script known as "Thông Bảo," which was used during the imperial period of Vietnamese history. At the same time, the coin's design also incorporates elements of Chinese culture, such as the use of the Chinese character for "cash" (钱) on the reverse side. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Vietnam and its relationships with neighboring countries during this time period.
