Đinh Bộ Lĩnh
The first Vietnamese coins were cast under the rule of the Đinh Dynasty (968–981) with the introduction of the "Thái Bình Hưng Bảo" () under Đinh Bộ Lĩnh. Though for the next 2 centuries coins would remain a rarity in the daily lives of the common people as barter would remain the dominant means of exchange under both the Đinh and Early Lê dynasties.
