VIETNAM, SOUTH. National Bank. 1000 Dông, ND (1955-56). P-4As. Specimen. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
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 a stunning woman offers an aura equal to that of the Mona Lisa. The background displays a boat on a lake with a mountainous landscape -- a symbol of the beauty of the area. Red control numbers "364."
Estimate: $7000 - $9000
