This banknote, with a face value of 5 dongs, was issued in 1948 by the Vietnamese government. It belongs to the MF-Q series. The iconic figure of Ho Chi Minh, communist activist and future president of Vietnam, is highlighted on this note.

This banknote was created in a specific historical context, during the period of French colonization of Vietnam. The Vietnamese government in exile, under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, initiated the production of these banknotes in an artisanal way. This approach was due to the lack of adequate infrastructure for the manufacture of formal banknotes, the country being devoid of the necessary resources and technologies.

The artisanal manufacture of these banknotes involved the use of local techniques and materials. These banknotes were produced with the aim of strengthening Vietnamese national identity and facilitating economic exchanges within the areas controlled by the resistance movement. They served as a means of payment and a symbol of sovereignty for the government in exile.

The issuance of these artisanal banknotes represents a testimony to the determination of the Vietnamese government to assert its independence and maintain economic activity in a context of conflict and colonial domination. They embody a period of struggle and resilience for the Vietnamese people.
