Interesting fact

The 3 Quan coin from the Empire of Vietnam, made of silver, features an image of a dragon on one side and a phoenix on the other. This design represents the harmony between yin and yang, as well as the balance between the four elements (earth, fire, metal, and wood) in Vietnamese culture.
