Comment
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
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Lê Đại Hành, who ruled the Empire of Vietnam from 980 to 1005 AD. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during his reign, and it features an inscription of the emperor's name, "Lê," on one side, and a image of a dragon on the other. The dragon symbolized the emperor's power and authority, and it was believed to bring good luck and prosperity to the people of Vietnam.
