10 Vietnamese Dong Foreign Exchange Certificate Banknote

10 Ðồng B Dong (Issued 1987)

Printed on crisp, relatively lightweight paper, this 1987 Vietnamese Foreign Exchange Certificate presents a clean, bright appearance with a predominantly pale blue and teal colouration that speaks to its controlled-circulation purpose rather than general public use. The note retains a sharp, uncirculated quality in appearance, with well-defined borders and no significant toning or wear visible across its surface. Its modest physical dimensions and restrained design reflect the functional, administrative character of Vietnam’s Foreign Exchange Certificate series, which was produced specifically for use by foreign visitors and certain permitted transactions during the late socialist-era economy.

On the front, the note is dominated by a large central guilloché medallion of considerable intricacy, rendered in deep teal and green tones against the pale blue ground of the note. Within this ornate lozenge-shaped cartouche, the numeral “10” is printed prominently in bold, clean typography, surrounded by densely woven rosette and lathe-work patterns that fill the interior of the medallion with fine concentric detail. Beneath the central numeral, the denomination text reads “MUOI” on one line and “DONG B” on the line below, both printed in capital letters in a dark, authoritative typeface. At the top of the note, the issuing authority is identified in full as “NGAN HANG NGOAI THUONG VIET NAM” — the Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam — rendered in dark lettering across the upper border. A red serial number, “0005358”, appears in the upper right area of the note, accompanied by the prefix letters “AA” printed in red immediately to its left. The border design consists of multiple interlocking frames of fine geometric and floral guilloché patterning, with decorative oval cartouches positioned at the left and right edges and elaborate corner ornaments repeating the note’s floral motif. The overall colour palette on the front moves between pale blue, mid teal, and deeper blue-green, with no portrait featured — the design relies entirely on geometric and typographic elements.

The reverse of the note is a mirror impression of the front design, appearing as a show-through of the obverse printing visible through the paper, which confirms the relatively thin stock used in production. The reversed text “NGAN HANG NGOAI THUONG VIET NAM” is legible across the upper portion, and the central guilloché medallion with the numeral “10” and the denomination text “MUOI DONG B” are all visible in reverse. In the upper left area of the reverse, a circular seal or vignette is partially visible, appearing to bear text running around its circumference consistent with an official bank stamp or certification mark. The partial serial number digits are also discernible through the paper in the upper right quadrant. The border guilloché and corner ornaments repeat the same decorative framework seen on the front, and the overall tone of the reverse is a uniform pale blue-grey, with the show-through printing providing the dominant visual interest in the absence of independently printed reverse design elements.
