This, the last cash style coin ever produced anywhere in the world, bears the name of Bao Dai the last emperor of Vietnam. There are three types: a large cast piece with 10 van inscription on the reverse, a medium cast piece with no reverse inscription (this type), and a small struck piece. All were issued in 1933. Under the French, Bao Dai nominally ruled the Amman protectorate. After the Japanese ousted the Vichy-French in March 1945, they ruled through Bao Dai, who renamed the country Vietnam. After the Japanese surrendered, Bao Dai abdicated the throne on 25 Aug 1945 and transferred power to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Bao Dai means "keeper of greatness."Bao Dai
