Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Lang - Đồng Khánh ND (1885-1889) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in the country. The coin was introduced during the reign of Emperor Đồng Khánh, who ruled Vietnam from 1885 to 1889. During this period, Vietnam was facing increasing pressure from European powers, particularly France, which would eventually lead to the colonization of the country. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation until the early 20th century, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
