Tuyen Hoa Huu Bao

The Tuyen Hoa Huu Bao coin shown in the is attributed to Tran Cao's son and successor Tran Thang (or Tran Cung). Gosen, Ding Fu Bao, and others make this attribution and date the coin to 1517. This coin is often faked by replacing the right character on the common Chinese coin Shuan Ho Tong Pao, and then recasting.
