| Additional information |
Diên Ninh was the reign title of Lê Nhân Tông, who ascended the Vietnamese throne as a child of around two years old in 1442 following the death of Lê Thái Tông. Real power during the early reign sat with the empress dowager and senior court officials. The cash issues of this period reflect administrative continuity rather than any monetary reform — the young emperor's reign title was simply applied to an established casting program.
Hartill's attribution places this firmly within the Later Lê series, a dynasty that would endure, with interruptions, until 1789.
