Interesting fact

The Đoan Khánh (Thông Bảo) coin was used during the reign of Emperor Lê Uy Mục, who ruled the Empire of Vietnam from 1505 to 1509. During his reign, the empire experienced significant economic growth, and the introduction of this coin was a part of his efforts to standardize the currency and promote trade. The coin was made of copper and had a weight of 5.70 grams, which was a significant improvement over the previous currency, which was made of bronze and had a lower weight. This coin was used widely in the empire and was an important part of the economic development of Vietnam during that time.
