Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Minh Mạng, who ruled the Empire of Vietnam from 1820 to 1841. He was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, as well as his suppression of dissent and opposition. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and political influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
