Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 7 Tiền - Tự Đức ND (1848-1883) coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, who ruled Vietnam from 1848 to 1883. During his reign, Vietnam faced pressure from European powers, particularly France, which eventually led to the country becoming a French colony. Despite this, the coin remains a symbol of Vietnam's rich cultural heritage and its efforts to maintain its independence during a time of colonialism.
