Biafra 1 Pound, ND (1969), P-5a, Uncirculated
Add a highly collectible note from a short-lived nation with this Biafra 1 Pound banknote, issued in 1968/1969 and cataloged as P-5a. This note was produced by the Bank of Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War, when the Republic of Biafra existed from 1967 to 1970. This issue was part of Biafra’s first currency series, introduced in early 1968 as the breakaway state worked to establish its own financial system and national identity. The obverse features a palm tree with a rising sun, symbolizing growth and independence, while the reverse displays the Biafran coat of arms alongside the national motto “Peace, Unity, Freedom.”
Due to its limited production period and strong historical context, Biafran currency remains a popular area for collectors focused on wartime and defunct nations. Put into circulation: February of 1969.
