Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Đồng coin was designed by the South Vietnamese government in 1964 as a proposed replacement for the existing đồng coin, which was made of aluminum. However, the coin was never officially released into circulation due to the political instability and economic difficulties faced by South Vietnam at the time. As a result, only a small number of pattern coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
