2 Tiền - Bao Dai Version 2

Beschrijving voorzijde	Four large Chinese characters arranged in the four cardinal positions around a central circular depression, which contains a small raised motif in place of the traditional flaming pearl. The characters read 保大寳鑑 (Bao Dai Bao Chien), disposed clockwise in the fields. The coin exhibits a broad, flat rim with a boldly incuse border, and the overall style is consistent with traditional Vietnamese cash-type medallic pieces of the Nguyen dynasty period.

Aanvullende informatie	Bảo Đại, the last emperor of Vietnam, reigned under French Indochinese oversight as a largely ceremonial figure — Paris retained real administrative and fiscal authority throughout his tenure. These silver tiền pieces were issued under the Nguyễn dynasty's monetary system, itself already an anachronism by the time Bảo Đại took the throne in 1926 at age thirteen. The French had long since imposed the Indochinese piastre as the dominant commercial currency. The X# prefix in the reference indicates this is classified as a non-circulating or ceremonial issue — likely struck for ritual or court use rather than everyday exchange.
