| Additional information |
Thiên Cảm Nguyên Bảo was struck for the brief reign-period proclaimed by Lý Thiên Tộ — better known as Emperor Lý Cao Tông — at the very start of his reign, a child emperor placed on the throne at age two following the death of Anh Tông in 1175. The Càn Vương variety adds a further layer of ambiguity: "Càn Vương" references a secondary or associated royal title, and its appearance on cash coinage suggests a parallel or ceremonial issue rather than standard fiscal production.
Toda's failure to assign a catalog number reflects how rarely this type surfaces. Barker's 6.2 attribution remains the primary reference point.
