The coin is designed with two faces, one with the image of a dove, a symbol of peace, an olive branch and the flags of the DPRK and the US, and the other with the image of a lotus and the date of the summit, said a representative of Vietnam Philately Co., which is assigned to make the coins.

New coins: Designs of the coins to celebrate Trump-Kim summit to be held in Hanoi on February 27-28.

The coins cost 500,000 VND (21 USD) each.

“Our designers and artisans have worked very hard to design and finish to coin’s image in only one week. We are trying to complete the coins to issue them on February 26 to welcome the historic summit,” said the representative.
