Central African States 2000 Francs P-New Unc

In April 2018, as the country was celebrating 50 years of independence, King Mswati III, absolute monarch of Swaziland, announced that the name of the country was to be changed to Eswatini, or Land of the Swazis. (It is said he was motivated to make the change because he was tired of his country being confused with Switzerland). It wasn’t until 2021 that banknotes from this landlocked African nation were issued with the country’s new title. We are delighted to offer Uncirculated examples of the 50 emalangeni notes from the Central Bank of Eswatini. They are dated 2018 (P-New). The portrait of King Mswati in traditional dress is on the front and a view of the Central Bank of Eswatini in Mbabane is on the back. Uncirculated.

These 200-pound notes from Egypt are impressive. (P77) The front features the Qani Bay Mosque with a minaret in Cairo. The back depicts the statue of the Seated Scribe with hieroglyphics alongside which translates as Egypt is Peace. Crisp Uncirculated and Limited availability.

In the 1940s, Greece suffered from rampant inflation and although times were hard the banknotes produced were still able to celebrate Greece’s glorious past. The numbers on this note say a modest 2000 but the truth is the note is for 2000 million drachma !(P133) The central vignette is a frieze taken from The Parthenon in Athens. These notes were printed locally in Athens and are in Uncirculated condition.
