100 Đồng UNICEF

Issued as part of Vietnam's broader run of commemorative silver pieces produced through the 1990s, this coin was struck to mark the 50th anniversary of UNICEF — an occasion that prompted dozens of countries to issue nearly identical collector pieces under licensing arrangements with the organization. Vietnam's participation reflected a shift in its foreign policy normalization following the 1995 restoration of full diplomatic relations with the United States and increased engagement with international institutions.

Most examples were sold directly into the collector market and never circulated.
