Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Quang Trung (Thông Bảo) from 1788 to 1792, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and historical heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a dragon, which is a symbol of power and strength in Vietnamese culture, while the reverse side features a phoenix, which represents peace and prosperity. This design combination is significant because it represents the harmony between the two opposing forces in the natural world, and it is a reflection of the balance that the emperor sought to achieve in his rule.
