Context
The Tự Đức Bảo Sao coins were created to complement the regular circulation coins; however, due to their intrinsic value being much small than their nominal values, they were poorly received. Originally introduced in 1861, these pieces saw a further decrease in weight in 1870 (while keeping the nominal values the same).
