| Obverse description | Central device depicts a traditional Vietnamese đỉnh (ritual bronze tripod cauldron) rendered in bold relief, facing forward with decorative feet and a tiered lid surmounted by a small finial. The circular legend VIET-NAM DAN-CHU CONG-HOA arcs across the upper field, while the date 1946 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the cauldron. The design reflects the newly proclaimed Democratic Republic of Vietnam's adoption of traditional Confucian ceremonial imagery as a national symbol. |
