Hi Nick

 

The medal says:

 

VÌ THẾ HỆ TRẺ = FOR THE YOUNG GENERATION

ĐOÀN THANH NIÊN LAO ĐỘNG HỒ CHÍ MINH 1931-1971 = Ho Chi Minh Youth Union of Labor 1931-1971

 

So presumably a commemorative medal for 40 years of Ho Chi Minh Labor Youth Union.  It doesn't really appear to be a medal from the period 1970s however.  Presumably a later issued badge for HCM labor youth union.

 

There are numerous such commemorative medals / badges.  I have about 100 of similar modern commemorative medals (but not this one !) now in progress adding to my new SRV/DRV medals website, working pages for commemorative medals section starting here : http://www.vietnammedals.org/en/cm/index.html   (warning: Its a work in progress.)
