| Comments |
P#40 belongs to the Liberation issue — a series printed in anticipation of reunification following the fall of Saigon in April 1975. The National Bank of Vietnam that issued it was the southern institution, but its days were already numbered; by 1976 the Socialist Republic of Vietnam had absorbed both banking systems into a unified structure, and these notes were quickly superseded by the 1978 dong series that erased the old denominations entirely.
Short-lived by design, not by accident.
