| Additional information |
Xương Phù was the reign title of Trần Phế Đế, who ruled under increasing domination by the powerful general Hồ Quý Ly — the man who would eventually depose the entire Trần dynasty outright in 1400. Coins issued under Phế Đế were produced during a period of acute internal fragmentation, with Cham military pressure from the south compounding the court's instability. Whether the minting apparatus functioned consistently across the full eleven-year reign is genuinely uncertain.
