Summary

Description
English: No. 59. (Barker: 37.1-37.17)

Obverse: 景統通寶 Canh-thong-thong-bao. Reverse: plain. Copper coin issued by King 憲宗 HIEN-TONG (1498-1505). 6th King. - 肅宗 TUC-TONG 1505. The Prince 遵 Tuan, third son of the last king, only occupied the throne during six mouths. His history may be briefly summed up by stating that as soon as he had performed the burial rites over the remains of his father, he died himself.

7th King. - 威穆帝 OAI-MUC-DE. 1505-1509. This Prince was the second son of king HIEN-TONG. Proclaimed king by a palace intrigue, he immediately showed his cruel nature by ordering the murder of the Queen Dowager and of the Minister of Rites. During his reign the 莫 MAC family began to assume the first position in the kingdom. The disorderly conduct of this monarch very soon disgusted the mandarins as well as the people; and the army, which then began to be of first importance in the country, revolted under the command of General 黎譓 LE-UINH. The king, being incapable of putting down this rebellion, committed suicide by taking poison, on the 1st day of the 12th moon of 1509.
