Normally I would list these individually but thought as I bought them all at the same antique fair.
So firstly we have a 50 Riels from Cambodia issued in 1972 and the front has fishermen fishing from a boat - one on each side of the note, while the reverse has Angkor wat temple complex.

The second note is called a guerrilla note from the Philippines. during WWII the Japanese occupied the Philippines and issued its own money but resistance fighters gathered in the different provinces and had their own underground governments and this was their currency, this note was from the Negros island and is for 10 pesos.

The third note is a 10 dalasi note from The Gambia.This note, from 1996, has the sacred ibis in the centre of the front of the note with a child on the right. The reverse has the Abuko earth satellite station

The next note is the 25 Piastres note from Sudan and it was issued in 1985. The front has a camel and the map of Sudan while the reverse has the Central bank of Sudan building.

And finally, the last two notes are from Ethiopia. The two are similar but from different dates. Both have a boy and some long horn cows on the front and the reverse has two white throated bee-eaters and the waterfall at Tisisat.
The first note is green and has the signature of Teferra Deguefe which dates it to 1976 . The second one, which is black / brown on a multi coloured background is dated at 1998. There are also differing symbols on the reverse in the far right centre.
