Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Lý Cao Tông, who ruled the Empire of Vietnam from 1175 to 1210. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the emperor to replace the old bartering system and promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin features the image of a dragon on one side and the inscription "Thiên Tư" (meaning "Heavenly Warrior") on the other, symbolizing the emperor's authority and power. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin played an important role in the economic development of Vietnam during that time.
