The World Union Congress block of four shows a significant passer-shift of the green color downwards. Imperforate stamps and error stamps on postally used cover are very rare. The Union Congress stamps were still denominated in old Dong. On September 14th, 1985 the Vietnamese Government conducted a currency devaluation in which the old Dong was devalued by 10:1. Stamps issued prior to that date were hence only worth one tenth of their original face value. The overall postage of the letter therefore amounted to 20 oD :10 = 2 nD plus stamps in new Dong (34,000 nD) plus the red free frank for 7,900 nD for a total of 41,900 nD.
