Comment
The denomination Văn was used from 1868 to 1885, indicating how many zinc coins one brass coin was worth. After 1885, while the term Văn still appeared on the coin, it became synonymous with Cash.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and upheaval in Vietnam. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Hàm Nghi, who ruled from 1884 to 1885, a period of political instability and conflict between Vietnam and France. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Vietnamese history and a testament to the country's resilience and cultural heritage.
