Comment

This Su was a rebellion that rose in arms in 1391 in which the army took over the undefended throne. The leader took Thiên Thánh as his reigning name but his effective reign lasted 3 days only.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Sử Thiên Thánh Rebellion, which was a dynastic rebellion that took place in Vietnam in the late 14th century. The rebellion was led by a powerful noble named Sử Thiên Thánh, who sought to overthrow the ruling Trần dynasty and establish his own dynasty. The rebellion ultimately failed, but it had a significant impact on the political landscape of Vietnam at the time. The coin itself is made of copper and weighs 1.63 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. It features a seal script Nguyen, which was a type of script used in ancient Vietnam, and the large size of the coin suggests that it was intended to be used as a high-denomination coin. The fact that it was minted during a time of political upheaval makes it a unique and interesting piece of Vietnamese history.
