| Additional information |
Bảo Đại's reign existed almost entirely under French Indochina's monetary authority, leaving the imperial court with little practical control over coinage. These silver tiền pieces were ceremonial rather than commercial — struck not for market circulation but for court ritual and royal gift-giving, which explains their persistent survival in collector-grade condition.
The X# prefix in standard references confirms the non-circulation status explicitly: these are catalogued among "unofficial" issues, outside the mainstream French colonial monetary system entirely.
