    Quang Ninh - Not only present in poetry, painting or photography, the beauty of Ha Long Bay is also preserved on coins through many historical periods.

    Images of majestic limestone mountains rising in the blue water, sails on Ha Long Bay have been chosen to be printed on many different denominations of banknotes, becoming a symbol representing the unique natural landscape of Vietnam.

    The appearance on the currency - a means associated with economic and social life - shows the special attraction as well as the outstanding value of Ha Long Bay, contributing to bringing this scenic spot to a large number of domestic and international people and tourists through each historical period.

    Let's admire Ha Long Bay through the collection of Vietnamese and Indochinese coins by collector Tran Trong Ha.
