Interesting fact
The 20 Đồng 1968 coin was designed by artist Nguyễn Đức Thọ, who was a prominent artist and sculptor in South Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s. The coin features a portrait of President Ngô Đình Diệm on one side and the national emblem of South Vietnam on the other. The coin was minted in 1968 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Vietnam, which was established in 1955. It's worth noting that the coin is a standard circulation coin, which means it was intended for everyday use and was not a commemorative or collectible coin. It's made of nickel-clad steel, which was a common material for coins at the time, and it weighs 9 grams.
