agree that drdrew's coin looks like numista's 1 van of vietnam; however, how do we reconcile that his coin is much bigger (29mm) than the 1 van (23.2 mm) listed in numista?
Thank you for the helpful information. It turns out that when I just grabbed a ruler to measure this coin I read the ruler wrong; it's 24mm, not 29. (Digital calipers are clearly better for me!) Drew
