Vietnam (South) 1000 Dong 1972, P-34, UNC

Saigon's Independence Palace faces a line of working elephants in the blue-green design of this thousand-dong note.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The Independence Palace occupies the right half, its long façade and repeated vertical divisions rendered in blue over green underprinting. A pale watermark area opens the centre-left, bordered by floral ornament. The National Bank's title stretches above the palace, with the denomination along the lower edge.

Reverse

Three elephants carry riders and loads across a lightly wooded landscape. Two overlap at the left, with a smaller third elephant farther away to the right. Corner values and the bank's Vietnamese name frame the blue-and-green scene.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, the elephant reverse belongs to South Vietnam's 1972 animal-design group. The thousand dong entered circulation, whereas the related five-thousand-dong design with a leopard remained unissued. That distinction matters when assembling the group: an album can contain both designs, but they do not share the same history as circulating money.
