Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of precious metals like silver or gold. The use of zinc as a material for coins was a sign of the Empire of Vietnam's attempt to introduce a more modern and efficient monetary system.
