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 political upheaval in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled Vietnam from 1848 to 1883. During this time, Vietnam was facing pressure from European powers, particularly France, which eventually led to the country becoming a French colony in 1884. Despite this, the 5 Tiền coin remained in circulation until 1883, when it was replaced by the French Indochinese piastre. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex and transformative period in Vietnam's past.
