| Additional information |
The 1976 date marks the reunification coinage issued after the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was formally proclaimed, consolidating North and South under a single monetary system for the first time since partition in 1954. These aluminum pieces were struck in quantity but saw hard daily use in a command economy where small denominations mattered; survivors in anything above circulated grades are genuinely scarce.
