West African States / Upper Volta ND (1961-65) P-304Cl PMG Choice UNC 64 EPQ 5000 Francs
The country of Burkina Faso was previously known as Upper Volta, which is when this note was issued (under the issuance of the West African States, which was a currency union for a number of countries in the region). A very scarce type, this series is avidly collected by variety. This signature variety dates back to the early 1960s and is quite scarce, and as a whole this type is challenging at this grade level.
