Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Tiền - Tự Đức ND (1848-1883) gold coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country's history. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled Vietnam from 1848 to 1883. During this period, Vietnam was facing pressure from European powers, particularly France, which eventually led to the country becoming a French colony in 1883. Despite this, the 3 Tiền coin remained in circulation and was a symbol of Vietnam's independence and sovereignty.
