| Additional information |
Dated 1975, this coin was issued by the Bank of Vietnam — the central bank of North Vietnam — in the final months before reunification. The timing is notable: Saigon fell on April 30, 1975, and the two-xu denomination continued circulating in the unified south under northern monetary administration during the awkward transitional period before a single currency was formally imposed in 1978.
