The National Bank of Vietnam's relationship with Thomas De La Rue stretched across much of the 1950s and '60s, a period when the Saigon government was simultaneously fighting a war, managing inflation, and trying to maintain the appearance of institutional normalcy. De La Rue printed for dozens of postcolonial governments at this time, and South Vietnamese notes from this era reflect that London-house quality — technically competent, politically neutral in execution.

The 1 Đồng denomination circulated at a level where notes absorbed real punishment. Low-value paper in wartime economies rarely survives in quantity.
