Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Đồng coin from South Vietnam is that it features a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese design elements and modernist influences. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of a Vietnamese woman wearing a traditional áo dài, while the reverse side features a rendition of the country's national emblem, which incorporates a dragon, a phoenix, and a banyan tree. This blend of traditional and modern design elements reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and its desire to embrace modernity and progress.
