Interesting fact
The 1 Tiền coin from the Empire of Vietnam, which was minted during the reign of Emperor Thiệu Trị (1841-1847), was made of gold and weighed 3.81 grams. This coin was significant because it was the first gold coin to be issued by the Empire of Vietnam, and it marked a shift towards the use of gold as a standard currency in the region. Prior to this, the main currency used in Vietnam was the copper cash, which was introduced by the Chinese during their rule over the region. The introduction of the gold coin was seen as a symbol of the Empire's growing wealth and power, and it paved the way for the use of gold as a standard currency in Vietnam for many years to come.
