| Additional information |
Thiệu Trị's reign was the shortest of the three early Nguyễn emperors, and the Board of Revenue operated under considerable fiscal strain throughout it — Vietnam was still absorbing the monetary infrastructure built under Minh Mạng, who had aggressively standardized coinage in the 1830s. The 3 tiền denomination in silver occupied an awkward practical position, too large for everyday transactions yet too small for the major commercial exchanges dominated by cast cash and ingot silver.
KM#275 is frequently encountered with die-alignment irregularities, a known characteristic of Board of Revenue silver from this reign rather than damage or post-mint alteration.
