Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Xu coin was designed by the South Vietnamese government in 1963 as a proposed replacement for the existing 50 Xu coin, which was made of bronze. However, the coin was never officially released into circulation due to the political instability and conflict in the country at the time. As a result, only a small number of pattern coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
