1000 Francs 1953 P. 29a. This banknote is similar to the later issued Congo Democratic Republic P.2 but this earlier type has no overprint in the watermark area and is dated 1953. The note offered here is in well used condition with residuals of tape glue accross a 1cm tear at upper border, stronger border wear at upper and lower border, some staining in paper and stronger folds. Still a rare issue with still original colors and a great addition to any collection. Condition: VG-
