According to the Department of Cultural Heritage, the gold seal is 10.4 centimetres high, weighs 10.78 kilograms, and measures 13.8×13.7 cm.
The treasure is an important cultural heritage symbolising political power during a period in Vietnamese history, marking the transition from monarchy to modern democracy in the Ho Chi Minh era.
The seal was cast in 1823 under the reign of King Minh Mang, the second emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, who ruled from 1820 till his death in 1841.
The Nguyen Dynasty, which ruled from 1802 to 1945, was the last monarchy in Vietnamese history. It crafted and put into use more than 100 seals, often cast in gold, silver, or precious jade. Currently, the National Museum of History is storing and preserving 85 precious jade seals of the Nguyen Dynasty.

The seal is an extremely valuable historical and cultural heritage for Vietnam, says Nguyen The Hong, representative of the Nam Hong Museum, expressing hope that more and more precious artifacts will be repatriated to the fatherland in future.
On October 19, 2022, French auction house Millon announced its auction of 329 antiquities, including two dating back to the Nguyen Dynasty, a golden seal made in 1823 under the reign of King Minh Mang, and a golden bowl made under the reign of King Khai Dinh who ruled from 1917 to 1925.
After the confirmation of the authenticity of the seal, a Vietnamese inter-ministerial delegation and the auction house agreed to transfer them to the nation.
On November 14 all sides agreed to carry out relevant legal processes and procedures for the repatriation of the seal back to Vietnam in accordance with the laws of both nations.
Nam Hong Museum in the northern province of Bac Ninh has been chosen to carry out relevant financial procedures according to French law. A contract to purchase the seal valued at EUR6.1 million was signed in France on January 13.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism asked the museum to preserve, display, and co-ordinate with the National Museum of History in protecting and promoting the value of heritage according to the provisions of the Law on Cultural Heritage.
The Nguyen Dynasty’s gold imperial seal is handed over to Vietnam at a ceremony held at the Vietnamese Embassy in France on November 16.

The 36-year-old Serb was defeated by the local favorite Sinner earlier this week in the group stage, but he got his revenge with an outstanding performance, winning 6-3 6-3. A packed crowd at Turin’s Pala Alpitour had hoped to see the 22-year-old Sinner claim the biggest title of his career, but Djokovic was simply on another level. The world number one only dropped two points on his serve in a flawless first set, and once he broke Sinner’s serve in the fourth game, it was mostly one-way traffic. At one point, Djokovic won 14 consecutive points against the world number four before Sinner briefly halted the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s momentum. Sinner managed to avoid going down a double break as Djokovic surprisingly missed a routine passing shot. Sinner then had chances to break back in the sixth game, but he couldn’t convert either of them. Djokovic also failed to convert break points that would have given him a 5-2 lead, as a few errors crept into his game. The crowd did the...
