Dave M Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 The note from my friend Madison came in yesterday, the same Yugo note he posted above. It is a beautiful addition to my collection, thank you Madison! This note is Congo P2a, my first Congo note. I got lucky on an eBay auction, this is the 1974 engraved version printed by Banque de France. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Wowza - I see several that have been on my "get it now" list for awhile, especially the Malian 100 Francs. The great thing about French inspired notes is all the ladies on them. The Djibouti note is in a class all its own with the colour and design. Tres belle!

Dave M Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Absolutely fantastic Madison! Must have been a wild event collecting all these up! I hope your wallet hasn't gone too dry The Djibouti specimen note has been on my "list" for a long time, and my other favorites are the Algeria note and the F. West Africa one. Really, really gorgeous notes - congrats! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave M Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Very hard to compete with that wonderful note from Madison. Here's one I just received, an early French West Africa note. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nice! Do you know what that says on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balaji Murthy Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nice! Do you know what that says on the back? My Arabic is very shaky. There are actually two panels in the back, they seem to be Arabic (on the left) and Persian (on the right). The first line is the translation of the phrase Bank of West Africa, that much I can read. The remaining lines are beyond my current capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Nice! Do you know what that says on the back? Boy, that's a great question and unfortunately I have no answer. Balaji, thanks for the portion you gave! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave M Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Here's a note I just picked up, to help fill out the article I wrote on Charles Walhain's Marianne issue. The overprint is the WWII Free French overprint, signifying Djibouti's alliance with the Free French during WWII. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Dave M, great Djibouti note, love the colour and wow, what an interesting scenario what with an Asian issued note being overprinted for use in the Horn of Africa in another of France's far flung possessions.
