Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Tiền - Tự Đức ND (1848-1883) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled Vietnam from 1848 to 1883. During his reign, Vietnam faced numerous challenges, including the threat of French colonization and the rise of the Cần Vương movement, which sought to expel foreign influences from the country. Despite these challenges, the 5 Tiền coin remained a popular form of currency in Vietnam until the country was colonized by France in 1883. Today, the coin is a valuable collector's item and a reminder of Vietnam's rich history and cultural heritage.
