Summary[edit]

Description
English: No. 70. (Barker: see 65.1-65.2)

Obverse: 正和通寶 Chanh-hoa-thong-bao Reverse: plain. Copper coin issued by the former king during his second nien-hao (1689-1705).

21st King. - 裕宗 DU-TONG. 1705-1727. He was the son of the last king, who was forced to abdicate by Trinh-can. But this Lord had but little time to use this new and serviceable instrument, as he died in 1708 leaving his authority to his son 鄭矜 TRINH-CANG. The latter passed many good laws, some of them relating to mining and coinage, of which mention has already been made. He persecuted the Christian missionaries without mercy, and in 1723 passed sentence of death upon one European, which sentence was duly carried out. In 1727 he forced the king to abdicate in favour of one of his sons, but some time afterwards both the king and himself died within a short space of time of each other.
