2 Tiền - Bao Dai

Bảo Đại's reign produced remarkably little in the way of official coinage — the French colonial administration controlled monetary policy, leaving the imperial court largely ceremonial in financial matters. These gold tièn pieces were struck not for circulation but as court presentation items, their issuance tied to ritual rather than commerce. The type is poorly documented in Western references, and Zeno catalogue numbers remain among the few systematic attempts to track surviving examples.

The 1926 start date marks the beginning of Bảo Đại's reign following the death of Khải Định.
