All of the seals are products from the talented hands of People's Artist Tran Do, from Bat Trang pottery village, Hanoi.

Gold and jade seals are national treasures. During its 143 years of existence, the Nguyen Dynasty made more than 100 seals, usually cast in gold, silver, or crafted from precious gems (jade seals). Unfortunately, some of the seals were stolen or destroyed. The remaining 85 seals (made from materials of gold, jade, and silver) are now kept at the Vietnam History Museum.
