Biafra 5 Pounds, ND (1969), P-6a, VF-F, Original & Crisp
Add a scarce and higher-denomination note to your collection with this Biafra 5 Pounds banknote, issued in 1969 and cataloged as P-6a. This note comes from the second series of Biafran currency, released during the later stages of the Nigerian Civil War. The Republic of Biafra existed from 1967 to 1970 as a breakaway state, issuing its own currency through the Bank of Biafra as part of maintaining economic independence during the conflict.
The 1969 series introduced higher denominations, including this 5 Pounds note, which is less commonly encountered than the earlier 1968 issues. These notes feature the iconic palm tree and rising sun motif on the obverse, symbolizing resilience and independence, with detailed national imagery on the reverse. Biafran currency is widely collected due to its short production window, wartime context, and status as a defunct country currency, with higher denominations like the £5 considered more scarce.
Condition: Very Fine-Fine. Original and crisp note with circulation. Signs of handling, dirt and folds present, but strong paper quality and eye appeal.
