Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tiền - Minh Mạng ND (1835) gold coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Minh Mạng, who ruled Vietnam from 1820 to 1841. During his reign, the country experienced significant cultural, economic, and political reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system that replaced the old bartering system. The 3 Tiền coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not highly valued at the time, and its value has increased significantly over time due to its rarity and historical significance. Today, it is considered a valuable collector's item and a symbol of Vietnam's rich history and cultural heritage.
