Gold & silver convention
Typical local unit(s): lượng (tael), chỉ. Typical purity: 24k (99.99% / "four nines").

Good to know
- The State Bank of Vietnam (not a private mint) controls production of SJC-branded gold bars, giving the state a central role in the domestic gold market. (Source: BullionStar Gold University)
- HOSE runs a split session with a midday break (9:15–11:30am, 1:00–2:30pm) plus ATO/ATC call-auction phases at the open and close. (Source: TradingHours.com)
