Pick 44 belongs to the transitional currency issued in South Vietnam immediately following reunification — specifically the series introduced in May 1975 by the Provisional Revolutionary Government before the formal establishment of a unified Vietnamese banking system. These notes circulated in the South only, replacing the Republic of Vietnam's piastre at a rate of 500 old đồng to 1 new đồng, a brutal conversion that wiped out savings held in the old currency.
The series was itself short-lived, superseded in 1978 when North and South Vietnamese currencies were consolidated into a single national đồng at par.
