ANOTHER 2 FROM BURUNDI

Here we have two notes from Burundi - one a bit cleaner than the other.

The first note is the 1000 franc note issued in 2006. The front has 3 types of cattle on it and the reverse has the "Monument de L'Unite Nationale " in Mont Vugizo, Bujumbura.

The other rather more used note is the 2000 francs from 2001 which has people harvesting their crops on the front and a lake on the reverse ( Burundi only has 3 major lakes - Tanganika, Rweru and Cohoha . so take your pick)

BURUNDI

 The Republic of Burundi is a landlocked country in central Africa with its capital city as  Bujumbura. Burundi's first democratically elected president was assassinated in October 1993 after holding office for only 100 days.this sparked ethic violence between the Hutu and the Tutsi's. after nearly 12 years of fighting it is estimated that at least 200,000 Burundians died and many more became refugees inside Burundi as well as in neighbouring countries.

the note above is the 100 Franc from 1990 (although this doesn't seem to be listed here ) it has Prince Rwagasore on the front and the arms on the reverse

This note from 1993, with a drummer on the front , shows the coat of arms better than the last one. this is the 50 franc note.

These notes from 2005 10 and 20 francs, have different styling even though they are from the same issue.
