1 Cash - Cảnh Hưng Thông Bảo, Seal script, with crescent

Cảnh Hưng was the longest-reigning emperor of the Later Lê dynasty, nominally on the throne from 1740 to 1786, though real power throughout that period was contested between the Trịnh lords in the north and the Nguyễn lords in the south. The imperial mint operated under Trịnh control, meaning these cash coins were effectively instruments of a regency government — the emperor's name on the copper, someone else's hand on the minting.

The crescent mark distinguishes this variety from the standard issue, likely indicating a specific foundry batch or supervisory mint. Toda's sequencing places #104 among the more deliberately differentiated pieces of this reign's extensive cash coinage.
