Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Tiền - Thành Thái ND (1889-1907) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Thành Thái, who ruled from 1889 to 1907, a period marked by the French colonization of Indochina and the subsequent establishment of the French Indochinese Union. Despite the political turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians, offering a unique glimpse into Vietnam's rich cultural heritage.
