Iconic Old Man Note
VIETNAM, SOUTH. National Bank of Vietnam. 1000 Dong, ND (1955-56). P-4As. Specimen. PCGS Banknote Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 PPQ.
Without control number. With black "Giay Mau" overprint and watermark of young woman's profile. Printed by BdF, without imprint. This 1000 Dong Specimen is the Holy Grail of notes from the Republic of Viet Nam. 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 is a woman at right with a Junk on river at left. The border design is comprised of multiple colors offering exceptional appeal. Rarely seen or offered in this Superb Gem state of preservation despite the release of many lower grade examples that hit the market and graded 64, so we therefor expect heavy bidding presence on this lot.

無控號。黑色"Giay Mau"加蓋,年青女性像水印。BdF印製,無廠印。1000盾在越南共和國紙幣中人氣高企。Thomas De La Rue 公司受委託設計能真正代表南越南的鈔票,遂向政府上呈此樣票。正面的老人象徵長壽和堅毅,老人凝視寺廟代表著國家濃厚的宗教情懷。反面女性居右,帆船在左。邊框多彩設計,美輪美奐。市面多見64評分,較低分品相。如此頂級超群保存狀態甚為罕見,因此預期將引起激烈競價。
