Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters in its inscription. The obverse side of the coin bears the Chinese characters "大治通寶" (dà zhì tōng bǎo) which means "Great Administration Common Currency," while the reverse side features the Vietnamese name "đại trị" (Thông Bảo) in the ancient Grass script. This blend of languages and scripts reflects the cultural exchange and influence between China and Vietnam during the time period in which the coin was minted.
