Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from the Empire of Vietnam, made of Copper, features a unique design that reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the time. On one side, it depicts a dragon, which symbolizes strength, power, and good luck in Vietnamese culture. On the other side, it features a phoenix, which represents grace, beauty, and prosperity. This design combination represents the harmony between yin and yang, and the balance between the natural world and human society, which was an important aspect of Vietnamese philosophy and beliefs during that era.
