5 NAKFA NOTE FROM ERITREA

 

This is a 5 Nakfa note issued in 1997, from Eritrea. this one adds to the two in the collection already. i have the 1 and the 10 Nakfa notes so  the 5 Nakfa make a run of 3. the 5 Nakfa has a similar design but instead of the 3 females on the 1 and 10 notes, this has 3 males on the front and a Jacaranda tree on the reverse

The bank of Eritrea 10 nafta note is from 2012 and has a triptych of Eritrean girls on the front and the Eritrean railway on the reverse. Its not often you get females on notes and this one has 3 but its a pity we dont know who they are

ERITREA

Eritrea, formerly a province of Ethiopia, gained independence in 1993 after a 30 year struggle ending in a referendum which overwhelmingly supported independence.
monetary unit: 1 Nakfa = 100 cents

The note is a 1 Nakfa from 1997 which has three girls on the from and a bush school on the reverse. As far as I can make out there was only this issue of 1, 2, 10, 20 ,50 and 100 Nakfa (1997) and in 2004 they released a 50 and 100 Nakfa note.
