| Additional information |
The Gallimimus piece belongs to Vietnam's prehistoric animal commemorative program of the early 1990s, a series aimed squarely at the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The timing was deliberate — Jurassic Park opened in June 1993, and the State Bank moved quickly to capitalize on global dinosaur fever before it faded.
