Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese cultural influences in its design. The use of seal script, a traditional Chinese writing system, and the Vietnamese dragon motif on the reverse side of the coin reflect the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Empire of Vietnam's history.
