Interesting fact
The 1 Văn - Đại Hòa coin was part of a series of imitation coinage produced by the Empire of Vietnam during the late 19th century, when the country was under French colonial rule. These coins were designed to resemble the French Indochinese piastre, but were made of copper instead of silver. Despite their lower value, they were still widely used in circulation and remain a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
