1 Cash - Cảnh Hưng Tống Bảo, Thượng

Cảnh Hưng was the longest-reigning monarch of the Lê dynasty's restoration period, ruling nominally for over four decades while real power shifted between competing Trịnh lords in the north and, later, the insurgent Tây Sơn brothers in the south. The coinage issued under his reign name is consequently vast and varied — Toda catalogued dozens of distinct types, and the Thượng ("superior") designation here indicates a quality or weight classification within what was a deliberately tiered production system.

The Trịnh lords controlled the northern mints effectively throughout this period, making imperial attribution something of a legal fiction stamped in copper.
