| 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. |
