Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Nguyên Phong (Thông Bảo; Regular script) between 1251 and 1258, features a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Thông Bảo" in Regular script, while the reverse side features a stylized dragon motif surrounded by a circle of small dots. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Vietnam and China during this period.
