Comment
Reference: Remmelts 168 (not listed on Toda or Barker). Issued in the semi-autonomous country of Central and South Vietnam (Đàng Trong, 廣南國) by either Nguyễn Phúc Trú or Nguyễn Phúc Khoát, imitating Yongle Tongbao of the Ming dynasty.Interesting fact
The 1 Văn coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Nguyễn Phúc Trú, also known as Vinh Lac, who ruled the Đàng Trong (Empire of Vietnam) from 1735 to 1740. This coin was made of tin and weighed 1.39 grams, which was a relatively small weight compared to other coins issued during that time period. Despite its small size, this coin is still considered a valuable collector's item today, especially for those interested in the history of Vietnamese currency.
