Summary
| Description |
English: No. 6. (Barker: 4.1)
Obverse: 乾符元寶 Can-phu-nguyen-bao. Reverse: plain. This coin was issued during the reign of the Emperor 太宗 THAI-TONG. (1028-1055.) It was during this epoch that the use of small thin cash was first introduced, on account of the great scarcity of copper then existing in the kingdom. The Chinese traders immediately took advantage of this circum-stance, and had Chinese cash recast into smaller ones, exporting them from their own country into Annam. In consequence of the abundance of coins caused by this proceeding the manufacture of cash was suspended by the Annamese govern-ment for a period of fifty years. |
