Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Lang coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who was known for his efforts to modernize and westernize Vietnam. The coin's design, which features a dragon on one side and a phoenix on the other, reflects the country's cultural heritage and symbolizes the emperor's vision for a strong and prosperous Vietnam.
