| Additional information |
The 1975 date places this coin at the moment of reunification, struck as the provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam moved to establish administrative normalcy before the north and south monetary systems were formally merged. A unified currency wasn't actually introduced until 1978, meaning these small aluminum pieces circulated in a transitional economy where their practical purchasing power was negligible almost from the day they were issued.
