| Beschrijving voorzijde | Three conjoined female busts facing forward in high relief, representing the three regions of Vietnam (Bắc Kỳ, Trung Kỳ, and Nam Kỳ), each adorned with traditional hairstyles and jewelry including necklaces. The central figure is slightly larger and faces directly forward, flanked by two figures in three-quarter profile. The curved legend QUỐC-GIA VIỆT-NAM arcs above the busts, and the date 1953 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by small decorative ornaments. The entire design is framed by a continuous scalloped inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1953 Vietnamese coinage program was produced in Paris under French supervision as Bảo Đại's Associated State of Vietnam sought the trappings of monetary independence within the French Union — a political arrangement that was already collapsing around it. Dien Bien Phu fell the following year. The essai designation marks this as a trial strike submitted for approval rather than a circulation issue, produced in strictly limited quantities for official examination.
At 3.5 grams in aluminium for a 31mm flan, the weight specification is notably heavy for the metal — suggesting the diameter was carried over from an earlier bronze design and the composition substituted afterward.
