| Additional information |
Cảnh Hưng was the longest-reigning emperor of the Lê dynasty's restored period, nominally on the throne from 1740 to 1786, though real authority rested almost entirely with the Trịnh lords who controlled the north. The sheer duration of his reign meant cash coinage was produced across decades and multiple minting episodes, generating enough die variation that the "type 2" distinction carries genuine cataloguing weight — Barker and Toda both record variants without fully resolving the sequence.
The Trịnh-controlled Board of Revenue directed production, not the imperial household itself.
