Morocco Banque d'Etat du Maroc 5000 Francs 1.8.1943 Pick 32 PMG Very Fine 25. The largest denomination from a WWII issue that did not circulate for very long. The French were unable to meet the needs of their territory's cash supply, and relied on the ABNCo to come to the rescue. Apart from this issue, there was currency being printed locally as well. It was 1948 before Banque de France could print banknotes for Morocco. Simplistic designs, no watermark, and the lack of metal strip were mostly due to the speed at which ABNCo had to get cash over to North Africa. Really quite scarce, and inevitably always in circulated grade. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/morocco-banque-d-etat-du-maroc-5000-francs-181943-pick-32-pmg-very-fine-25/a/4035-28316.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4035-01062022 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
