| Obverse description | Central field features a heraldic coat of arms depicting a rampant lion on a shield, surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by crossed implements, evoking the style of 19th-century European monarchical heraldry. The shield is supported by foliate ornamental elements on either side. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circular legend along the upper rim reads ROYAUME DES SEDANGS-MARIE 1ER 1888-1889, referencing the short-lived Kingdom of Sedang and its self-proclaimed king. The motto JAMAIS CEDANT TOUJOURS SAIDANT is divided across the lower field to left and right of the arms, with the date 2021 displayed in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
The Kingdom of Sedang was not entirely fictional — it was a short-lived micronation proclaimed in 1888 in the Central Highlands of Vietnam by French adventurer Marie-Charles David de Mayréna, who styled himself King Marie I. He died in 1890 under disputed circumstances in the Philippines, and the kingdom dissolved with him. Modern fantasy coinages invoking the Sedang name borrow that historical footnote as branding.
The copper-nickel-iron composition is unusual — iron is rarely included in circulating or collector alloy specifications, suggesting either a cost-driven proprietary blend or a deliberate attempt to distinguish the issue metallurgically from standard CN coinage.
