Comment
The Mạch and Quán denominations are unlisted in standard references, with very few examples existing of each denomination.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quán - Tự Đức (Bảo Sao) ND (1870-1883) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was designed with a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and French colonial influences. The coin features a combination of Vietnamese characters and French inscriptions, reflecting the complex cultural and political dynamics of the time. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the colonial period in Vietnam.
