Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Minh Đạo (Nguyên Bảo) of the Empire of Vietnam, who ruled from 1042 to 1043. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during his reign, and its copper material and relatively small weight of 2.77 grams make it a unique piece of numismatic history.
