Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 9 Tien coin from the Empire of Vietnam is that it was designed with a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and French influences. The coin features a portrait of Emperor Tự Đức on one side and a dragon on the other, symbolizing the country's rich cultural heritage and its connection to the French colonial powers. This blend of styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during this time period in Vietnam.
