Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tiền - Tự Đức ND (1848-1883) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled Vietnam from 1848 to 1883. During his reign, Vietnam faced pressure from European powers, particularly France, which eventually led to the country becoming a French colony. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation until the early 20th century, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
