Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Thiên Hưng (Thông Bảo) in the 15th century, features a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and Chinese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Thiên Hưng Thông Bảo" in Chinese characters, while the reverse side features a stylized dragon motif that is commonly found in Vietnamese art and architecture from that period. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between Vietnam and China during the time.
