2 Tiền - Bao Dai

Bảo Đại's reign was largely administered through French Indochina's colonial apparatus, and the currency system reflected that arrangement — French-controlled mints and monetary policy dominated, leaving imperial Vietnamese coinage in an ambiguous ceremonial role rather than active commerce. These silver tiền pieces circulated within a system already saturated by French piastres.

The X# prefix in the reference signals its classification as a non-circulating or pattern-adjacent issue in Krause, though local use has been documented.
