Comment
Commonly encountered with rotated diesInteresting fact
The 5 Hao coin from North Vietnam, issued in 1946, is interesting because it was produced during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was minted during the early years of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, which was established in 1945 after the country gained independence from French colonial rule. The coin's design features a stylized image of a worker and a peasant, symbolizing the unity of the working class and the peasantry in the struggle for socialism. The fact that it was made of aluminum, a relatively lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal, also speaks to the resourcefulness and innovation of the North Vietnamese government during a time of economic hardship and scarcity.
