Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Khai Kiến (Thông Bảo) of the Empire of Vietnam, who ruled from 1593 to 1625. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the Emperor to replace the old bartering system and to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin was made of bronze and weighed 3.04 grams, which was a significant improvement over the earlier coins that were made of base metals and had little value. This coin was widely used in the Cao Bằng Province and was an important part of the local economy during that time.
