Comment
This type was weighted to 9 Phan, which was worth three zinc coins.Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Thiệu Trị (1841-1847), features a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and French design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a dragon, which is a symbol of power and strength in Vietnamese culture, while the reverse side features the French motto "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) and the coat of arms of the French Empire. This blending of design elements reflects the complex cultural and political influences at play during this period in Vietnam's history.
