| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette presents a panoramic view of a hydroelectric power station complex — consistent with the Trị An or Hòa Bình facility — with high-voltage transmission pylons and power lines receding into the background and construction cranes visible at right. An ornamental cartouche frames the denomination numeral 5000 at lower left, balanced by a latticework device at lower right. The overall colour scheme is blue-grey with an olive-yellow guilloche underprint. |

| Comments |
Vietnam's dong denominations were restructured repeatedly through the late 1980s and early 1990s as hyperinflation eroded purchasing power faster than the State Bank could print. The 5,000 đồng note, negligible in value within a few years of issue, was part of a series produced domestically rather than contracted to Eastern Bloc printers as earlier generations of Vietnamese currency had been — a shift that reflected both the collapse of Soviet technical assistance and the broader economic opening of Đổi Mới.
