| Obverse description | Central field features the large denomination numeral '20' rendered in a bold, lined relief style, with the currency unit 'ĐỒNG' inscribed beneath in incuse lettering. The legend 'VIỆT-NAM CỘNG HÒA' (Republic of Vietnam) curves along the upper periphery of the decagonal flan, following the contour of the coin's ten-sided shape. A decorative sprig of stylized rice or foliage is positioned at the lower center of the field, flanked symmetrically by additional foliate ornaments. The flat, beveled edges of the decagonal flan are clearly defined, lending a modern, utilitarian aesthetic to the design. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts a standing female figure in traditional Vietnamese attire and a conical nón lá hat, rendered in medium relief, facing left and holding a harvesting tool, surrounded by large sheaves of rice on either side, evoking the nation's agricultural heritage. The legend 'NGÂN-HÀNG QUỐC-GIA VIỆT-NAM' (National Bank of Vietnam) curves along the upper periphery, again conforming to the decagonal shape of the planchet. The date '1968' appears in the lower exergue, flanked on each side by a small stylized rice or leaf sprig. The overall composition reflects a socialist-realist agricultural motif consistent with mid-twentieth-century Southeast Asian coinage design. |
