Thanks "IGE." They have nice designs & remind me of the much more expensive notes from Seychelles, Rhodesia & more in the East Caribbean price range (right now). They're not very common so not sure how long that will last. One & Five pound next.

I like the pompous, histrionic banknotes from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia a lot. They have been printed in France, and you can see and feel it (paper, style, numbering). On this one you can find almost everything ... except a horse.  So i'll put it in the ships thread.

A cheap note but a very nice one with a beautiful sailing ship on the back is this Chile, P-141a from 1962

Maybe the world's most famous ship (after the Titanic) is pictured on the back of this one: the Santa Maria, the ship of Christoph Columbus who is pictured on the front. Italy P-102a 1971

Some ships and a boat on this one: French Pacific Territories P-3i, 2007 with the seafarer and writer Louis de Bougainville and Admiral Auguste Febvrier-Despointes on the revers.

 more super examples "Caletan" (I want to get the Italian Columbus note one of these days & the cheap South American examples show great ship vignettes). This one isn't really a ship but a small fishing boat. I just had to get this one after buying the more recent cheaper $2 version. I really like the fishing scene & recall seeing some locals use these types of boats fishing during my visit to East Asia. Solomon Islands P-5 $2 Low serial number:
