Obverse description The obverse features a large, bold numeral '1' in the center of the field, rendered in a distinctive lined or ribbed style, with the denomination 'ĐỒNG' inscribed in large raised letters along the lower arc. The curved legend 'VIỆT-NAM CỘNG-HOÀ' (Republic of Vietnam) arcs around the upper periphery in Latin script. The design is stark and modernist, with no figurative imagery, relying entirely on typography for its composition.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a central motif of a naturalistic sheaf of rice plants, their heavily laden stalks and grain-bearing panicles fanning outward symmetrically from a common base, rendered in fine relief with careful botanical detail. The composition fills most of the field, conveying the agricultural heritage of Vietnam. The four-digit date '1971' is inscribed in the lower exergue area beneath the rice sheaf, in plain upright Latin numerals.
