Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Khải Định (1916-1926), features a unique blend of Eastern and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the emperor in a traditional Vietnamese royal costume, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a dragon, which is a symbol of power and good luck in Vietnamese culture. This blend of traditional Vietnamese motifs with Western-style coinage design reflects the influence of French colonialism on Vietnam during that time period.
