Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cash - Tự Đức (Thông Bảo; zinc) ND (1848-1871) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was made of zinc, which was a relatively new material for coins at the time. Zinc was first introduced as a coinage metal in the 1830s, and it was not widely used until the mid-19th century. The use of zinc in coins allowed for a lighter weight and a more durable material than traditional metals like silver and gold. This coin, weighing in at 2.28 grams, is a prime example of the innovative use of materials in coinage during this time period.
