(in [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]])</ref> Despite bearing the actual legend of ''Đại Bình Hưng Bảo'' (大平興寶) it is known as the "Thái Bình Hưng Bảo" because the reign era (or [[Vietnamese era name|niên hiệu]]) was "Thái Bình" as it was first minted in 970 under the reign of [[Ðinh Tiên Hoàng]] of the [[Đinh dynasty]], its production ran until 979 under his son, [[Đinh Phế Đế]]. The Thái Bình Hưng Bảo was the only coin produced under the Đinh dynasty as even after Ðinh Tiên Hoàng was replaced by his son Đinh Phế Đế, coins the same inscription were continued to be manufactured. The Thái Bình Hưng Bảo helped assert Vietnam's economic, political, diplomatic, and cultural independence from [[China]] as up until that point imported [[Cash (Chinese coin)|Chinese cash coins]] were the ''de facto'' currency of Vietnam for areas that were high in trade.<ref>Kiến Thức [https://m.kienthuc.net.vn/phong-thuy/thai-binh-hung-bao-dong-tien-dau-tien-cua-viet-nam-38674.html Thái Bình hưng bảo: Đồng tiền đầu tiên của Việt Nam].

This design continued to be used for Vietnamese cash coins issued by [[History of Vietnam|later dynasties]] and ended with the [[Bảo Đại Thông Bảo]] (保大通寶) until [[List of monarchs of Vietnam|Emperor]] [[Bảo Đại]] abdicated in 1945.<ref name="JEAN2I">{{Cite web|url= https://issuu.com/jean388/docs/the_second_issue_of_jean/81|title=Sapeque and Sapeque-Like Coins in Cochinchina and Indochina (交趾支那和印度支那穿孔錢幣)|date=20 April 2016|accessdate=4 March 2018|work=Howard A.

Retrieved: 05 July 2018. (in [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]])</ref> Numismatists have concluded that this coin was mostly used domestically as Vietnam didn't engage in much maritime trade at the time with the only written record of trade with foreign merchants being in 976 in [[Hoa Lư]] along the Hoàng Long river. The presence of contemporary native Vietnamese mints is notably absent in the historical records of Vietnam, however Chinese records confirm that the Đinh dynasty did issue Thái Bình Hưng Bảo coins. Despite issuing its own currency now the [[Economy of Vietnam|Vietnamese economy]] was still mostly based on [[barter]] at the time with Chinese currency mostly circulating in the border area, and although the succeeding Thiên Phúc Trấn Bảo (天福鎮寶) cash coins were more widely produced and circulated more it wasn't until the [[Later Lê dynasty]] that the Vietnamese economy became a currency-based economy.<ref>Binh Định [http://www.baobinhdinh.com.vn/datnuoc-connguoi/2010/7/95038/ Thái Bình hưng bảo: Đồng tiền đầu tiên của Việt Nam].
