Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and economic change in Vietnam, which was then known as French Cochinchina. The coin features a unique blend of French and Vietnamese design elements, reflecting the colonial influence of France on the region. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Southeast Asian currency.
