| Additional information |
The Cẩm Giang Vương Rebellion was one of several armed challenges to the Lê dynasty during the turbulent regency period following the deposition of Lê Uy Mục. Lê Y, a royal claimant who briefly controlled territory in the Red River Delta region, struck this cash coinage to assert administrative legitimacy — minting coin being, in Vietnamese political tradition, an act inseparable from sovereign authority. The rebellion collapsed within months.
Toda documented very few specimens when compiling his 1882 catalogue of Annamite coins, and the type has not grown significantly more common since.
