Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Nguyên Phong (Thông Bảo; Seal script) between 1251 and 1258, was made of copper and features a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Thông Bảo" in seal script, while the reverse side features a stylized dragon motif surrounded by a circle of small dots. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Vietnamese numismatics, and its design reflects the cultural exchange and influences that existed between Vietnam and China during this period.
