    Zhengde Tong Bao virtue coin in gilt bronze diameter 13 cm Vietnam early 20th century

    A true object of curiosity and legend, the "Zhengde Tong Bao" virtue coin has become an element of Sino-Vietnamese folklore and culture.

    Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming dynasty, no official coins were produced or circulated, except for a few - very rare - in this format: four "Zhengde Tongbao" characters followed on the reverse by a dragon figure symbolizing masculinity & imperial power, and a phoenix symbolizing the femininity and harmony of the empress.

    Created in the early 20th century, probably during the Indochinese/Vietnamese period, it is purely folkloric & decorative, bringing wealth and virtue to its owner.

    Fast & careful delivery in France, Europe & Worldwide.
