The design on this Historic Vietnam coin symbolizes the three women from 3 different regions of Vietnam. From left to right, the first woman is from the South of Vietnam, middle woman is from Hue, the woman in the right is from the North of Vietnam.

The date is 1 year before the demise of the French at Dien Bien Phu. What a great coin!

This is a lovely specimen of the 1953 Vietnam 10 SU. Catalogues at $25.00 in Unc and when found accurately graded are selling at prices that are quite a bit more. They are very tough in choice Unc.
These are aluminum coins and subject to corrosion and pitting. Not properly saved either, hence choice thru gem specimen's are quite scarce and even rare. Here's a super choice brilliant uncirculated specimen that is premium quality for the grade and in a fresh new NGC holder for only $125.00
