Comment
Rather than being distributed up-down-right-left, the characters have an up-right-down-left distribution.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Văn - Đại Định coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese characters. The coin's inscription includes the Chinese characters "大定" (dà dìng) meaning "great stability" or "great peace," which was a common motto during the Đại Việt era. However, the coin also features the Vietnamese character "Văn" (văn) meaning "culture" or "literature," which highlights the importance of Vietnamese culture and language during this period. This blend of characters reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between China and Vietnam during the 12th century.
