Saor Alba Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Neat Guernsey notes, I like the tenner, I have the earlier example from the late 1960's that had a "borrowed" design from a 19th century note. Their notes are different - the early ones had unique designs that really could not be compared to another places banknotes. The battle scene on the reverse also ties in with American history, that was the battle for the Toronto area when US forces invaded Canada during the War of 1812 - that whole campaign turned out to be a disaster for the Americans. BTW there are some great spots like forts etc to see there in that area from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Those are why I love Mexican notes from that era - lots of colour, great imagery etc. And for the most part they are pretty affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 well done on the SS, mmmm i have seen on the net some 'north sudan' what is it ? new denomination for the lasted part of sudan OR fantasy notes ? I think they split officially into "Sudan" and "South Sudan". I would guess "North Sudan" would be "Sudan". I have seen fantasy notes from the area, so I am not sure.

It's a simple design, and I like that they didn't feel the need to fill the whole thing in. It really makes the note (in my opinion).

MauMauNotes Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Got this in today. It's a 10000 francs from West African States - Benin. on the top left of the back side, is it a lizard or crocodile skin ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 on the top left of the back side, is it a lizard or crocodile skin ? It looks like a Man/Crocodile concoction. In searching resources, it seems to be a type of symbol used to communicate the need for unity for a shared destiny. This makes sense considering that this note from the monetary union of the West African States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
