4 Tiền - Bao Dai - 2nd Class

Bảo Đại ascended the throne in 1926 at age twelve under heavy French oversight, and the coinage issued under his name reflects that arrangement precisely — struck at the Paris Mint, denominated in a system designed around French Indochinese fiscal policy rather than any Vietnamese monetary tradition. The "2nd Class" designation distinguishes these pieces within a quality-tiered minting protocol maintained by the colonial administration.

His abdication in August 1945, under pressure from the Việt Minh, ended the Nguyễn dynasty and halted this coinage permanently. No successor imperial issue was ever produced.
