Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in Vietnam. The Empire of Vietnam, also known as the Nguyen Dynasty, was established in 1802 and lasted until 1945. During this time, the country experienced significant cultural, economic, and political changes, including the introduction of new currency systems and the expansion of trade and commerce. Despite these changes, the 1 Cash coin remained an important part of everyday life for many Vietnamese people, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item today.
