Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Towards the end of 1417, there appeared in the province of 爻安 Nghe-an the Annamese 黎利 LE-LOI, the chief of the party fighting for independence against the Chinese. His good fortune was by no means continuous, and be suffered several defeats; but his personal valour and his power over the Annamese armies kept up the movement and enabled him to inflict severe losses upon the Chinese army, and to force it to retire from the country.
In 1426 LE-LOI proclaimed a descendant of the TRAN Dynasty king of Annam under the name of 天慶 THIEN-KHANH, but his power was always eclipsed by that of LE-LOI, who in 1428, when Annam was freed from the invader, pro-claimed himself king, giving birth to the second 黎 Le Dynasty. During LE-LOI'S rebellion several coins were cast for the payment of his followers. They are all of diminutive size, and the copper employed varies in colour according to the provinces wherein the coins were cast No. 40. (Barker: see 52.1-52.2) Obverse: 安法元寶 An-phap-nguyen-bao. The character 元 Nguyen written in the seal form. Plain Reverse. |
