VIETNAM, SOUTH. National Bank. 1000 Dong, ND (1955-56). P-4As. Specimen. PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.
Without control number. With black "Giay Mau" overprint and watermark of young woman's profile. Printed by BdF, without imprint. This 1000 Dong Specimen is the Holy Grail of notes from the Republic of Viet Nam. This note was proposed to the government after the Thomas De La Rue Company was commissioned to create a piece that represented the essence of South Viet Nam. The Old Man was printed to signify dedication and longevity, while he stared at the temple that represented the religious sentiment of the region. On the reverse is a woman at right with a Junk on river at left. The border design is comprised of multiple colors offering exceptional appeal. Scarcely seen or offered in this Superb Gem state of preservation, so expect heavy bidding presence on this lot. Only 5 PMG 67's exist, with none graded higher.
Estimate: $15000 - $20000
