| Additional information |
Chieu Thống was the last emperor of the Lê dynasty, installed in 1786 with Qing Chinese backing after Nguyễn Huệ's Tây Sơn forces briefly withdrew from Hanoi. His reign lasted barely two years before Nguyễn Huệ returned in early 1789 and routed the Qing expeditionary army at the Battle of Đống Đa — one of the most decisive military reversals in Vietnamese history. Chieu Thống fled to China, where he died in exile in 1793, never to return.
The Chính mint designation places this piece among the issues struck at the principal metropolitan facility during that precarious interlude of restored Lê authority.
