These are said to have been cast in the 5th moon of the 5th year of Đại Hành (986); however, many sources give the full rang of Lê Hoàn's reign.Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Thiên Phúc (Trấn Bảo) from 986 to 1005, features a unique design that reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a dragon, which symbolizes strength, power, and good luck in Vietnamese culture, while the reverse side features a phoenix, which represents beauty, grace, and prosperity. This design combination was meant to convey the idea of balance and harmony between the masculine and feminine principles, as well as the natural world and the spiritual realm.
