Certificate
and Story.
Features a colorful banknote from the now -extinct nation of South Vietnam , which lost to  the Communists despite backing by the US military .
A new world order emerged in the decade after the Second World War. Two superpowers—one Communist, one Capitalist—would vie for global hegemony. Because both the US and the USSR had nuclear weapons, mutually assured destruction prevented all-out war. Instead, the two sides fought proxy wars in far-flung parts of the globe. One such battleground was Vietnam. After the French abandoned its colonial ambitions in Indochina after Dien Bien Phu in 1954, the responsibility of staving off Soviet incursion in the region fell to the United States. If Vietnam fell to the Communists, the thinking went, there would be a “domino effect,” and the Soviets would control the entire region. For almost two decades, the North Vietnamese—backed by the Soviet Union and China—fought a civil war against the South—supported by the United States and its Western allies. Despite years of fighting, under the command of presidents of both political parties, the US failed to achieve its objective in Vietnam. A war begun in earnest by J ohn Kennedy, and intensified by Lyndon J ohnson and Richard Nixon, ended in 1975 during the presidency of Gerald Ford, with the capture of Saigon by North Vietnamese troops. Printed in 1972, this is one of the last issues of South Vietnam .
