Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Quang Thiệu (Thông Bảo) from 1516 to 1522, features a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Thông Bảo" in ancient Vietnamese script, while the reverse side features a stylized dragon motif that is reminiscent of Chinese numismatic designs. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between Vietnam and China during this period.
