The legend MOI MOUK is inscribed along the lower periphery in bold Latin characters. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border. |

| Additional information |
The Kingdom of Sedang was a short-lived proto-state carved out of the Central Highlands of Vietnam in 1888 by Marie-Charles David de Mayréna, a French adventurer who declared himself King Marie I after negotiating — with varying degrees of coercion — treaties with local Sedang tribal chiefs. French colonial authorities never recognized it, and de Mayréna died in 1890 under disputed circumstances in the Philippines. The 2021 issue revisits this episode as part of a broader wave of fantasy or "exonumia" coinage commemorating obscure historical micronations, carrying no legal tender status in any jurisdiction.
