| Obverse description | Central shield bearing a rampant lion, surmounted by a royal crown, flanked by two crossed swords at the base, composing the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sedang. The motto legend is divided into two tablet-shaped cartouches in the field, reading JAMAIS CEDANT to the left and TOUJOURS SAIDANT to the right. The outer legend ROYAUME DES SEDANGS - MARIE 1ER 1888-1889 curves along the upper rim within a beaded border. The date 2021 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
The Kingdom of Sedang was a short-lived French adventurer state carved out of the Central Highlands of Vietnam in 1888 by Marie-Charles David de Mayrena, a con man and self-styled monarch who convinced local Bahnar tribespeople to accept his sovereignty before European powers refused to recognize his claim. He died in 1890 under disputed circumstances in Malaya, ending the experiment entirely. This 2021 issue is a private fantasy piece — Sedang issued no actual coinage during its existence.
