note that was issued by the
"Republic of South Vietnam"
. Undated, it was issued by the National Bank of Viet-Nam in 1964 after the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem. He had been the first President, establishing the
"Republic of South Vietnam"
in 1955.
Diệm's removal and assassination set off a period of political instability and declining legitimacy of the Saigon government. General Dương Văn Minh became president, but he was ousted in January 1964 by General Nguyễn Khánh. Phan Khắc Sửu was named head of state, but power remained with a junta of generals led by Khánh, which soon fell to infighting. Meanwhile, the
"Gulf of Tonkin"
incident of August 2, 1964 led to a dramatic increase in direct American participation in the war, with nearly 200,000 troops deployed by the end of the year.
After the French regime of Indo-China was swept away, the
"Geneva Agreement"
of 1954 created the State of
"South Vietnam"
. It lasted until 1975 when it was overwhelmed by the communist north. All it's notes are obsolete.
