What's on the note
Front: Textile factory interior scene showing industrial textile production with workers operating spinning machinery and fabric manufacturing equipment.

Back: Cargo port with loading cranes and vessels at dock, representing Vietnam's maritime trade infrastructure. The scene depicts industrial port facilities with modern cranes loading or unloading cargo ships, symbolizing the country's efforts to develop international trade capacity and modernize transportation infrastructure during the post-war reconstruction period.

Background & history
This note presents a denomination mismatch: the front displays '2000 HAI NGHIN DONG' while the back shows '500 NĂM TRĂM DONG', indicating these are likely two separate notes photographed together or a mismatched pair. The design belongs to Vietnam's 1985-1991 banknote series issued by the State Bank of Vietnam (Ngân Hàng Nhà Nước Việt Nam) during the socialist period before the đổi mới economic reforms took full effect. These notes featured socialist themes emphasizing industrial and agricultural production. The series was eventually withdrawn as Vietnam moved toward a market economy and issued new currency designs in the 1990s. The brown and beige color scheme with light blue accents is characteristic of Vietnamese notes from this era. Without visible serial numbers, signatures, or printed dates, precise attribution to specific Pick numbers requires further verification. The textile industry and port infrastructure themes reflect the government's focus on building productive capacity in the post-reunification economy.
