Interesting fact
The 2 Xu 1975 coin from South Vietnam was designed by artist Nguyễn Đức Thọ, who was a prominent sculptor and artist in Vietnam during the 20th century. Thọ's design features a portrait of Hồ Chí Minh, the former president of North Vietnam, on the obverse (front side), and a depiction of a farmer and a worker on the reverse (back side). The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Vietnamese people during a time of great political and social change in the country.
