SET FROM MADAGASCAR







These notes are a part set from Madagascar. The set are all from 2004 . The 500 Ariary has a man weaving on the front and cattle on the reverse, whereas i'm unsure what is on the front of 200 Ariary note but it looks like either a hut or some kind of gate, on the reverse is some type of totems with the first one having something like a bus from the flintstones on the top. The 100 Ariary note has the travellers  tree on the front. 1 Ariary is the equivalent to 5 Madagascar Francs
