Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1½ Tiền - Tự Đức ND (1848-1883) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled Vietnam from 1848 to 1883.
