In AD 1802, the Nguyen Dynasty established the independent state of Gia Long after overthrowing the Tay Son Dynasty. The Nguyen Dynasty can be divided into two periods: the independent period (AD 1802-1883) and the colonial period (AD 1883-1945). The signing of the “Treaty of Hue” with France in AD 1883 officially marked Vietnam as a French protectorate, initiating the colonial era.

On the obverse side of this coin, the inscription “紹治” (Thiệu Trị) corresponds to the reign title of Emperor Thiệu Trị during the Nguyễn Dynasty. On the reverse side, positioned to the left, is the swastika symbol 卍, a variant of “萬” (wàn in Vietnamese), commonly signifying the concept of ‘ten thousand’ in Vietnamese culture. In the center is the Đàn tỳ bà (Vietnamese Lute), an instrument closely associated with the royal court and still employed in palace performances to this day.

公元1802年，阮氏廣南國滅西王朝，正式建國。阮朝的統治可分為兩部分—獨立時期(公元1802-1883年)及殖民時期(公元1883-1945年)，公元1883年阮朝與法國所簽定的《順化條約》正式將越南視為法國的保證國，進入殖民時期。

此幣正面刻有「紹治」，為阮朝紹治帝的年號。背面左側為卍，是「萬」的變體，越南語為 vạn。中央為越南琵琶，被認為是與皇室有關，現在仍然用於皇宮演奏之中。
