Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Trần Công (Tân Bảo) ND (1516) from Trần Tuân Rebellion (Dynastic rebels) made of Bronze weighing 3.37 g is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in Vietnam. The Trần Tuân Rebellion, which took place from 1516 to 1521, was a period of dynastic struggle between the Trần dynasty and the Mạc dynasty, and this coin was likely minted as a way to finance the military efforts of the Trần dynasty. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate designs and calligraphy that reflect the cultural and artistic achievements of the era.
