Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled the Empire of Vietnam from 1848 to 1871. During this time, Vietnam was facing pressure from European powers, particularly France, which would eventually lead to the colonization of the country. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a symbol of Vietnam's rich history and cultural heritage.
