Vietnam: The State Bank of Vietnam, Saigon (early 20th century)

When Vietnam was under French rule, the colonial government governed the Indochinese monetary system through the Indochinese Bank, which also acted as a commercial bank in French Indochina. After the August Revolution in 1945, the Vietnamese government gradually attempted to exercise a monetary system independent from France. In July 1976, the National Bank of Vietnam was merged into the State Bank of Vietnam.
