Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam. The Minh Đức dynasty, which ruled Vietnam from 1788 to 1793, was a brief period of independence between two periods of Chinese rule. The coin's design, featuring a crescent and dot, may have been influenced by Islamic or Chinese currency designs, reflecting the cultural exchange and diversity of the region.
