Banco Nacional de Cabo Verde, a printers composite essay for a proposed issue of 50 escudos, ND (ca 1976), serial number A/1 000000, blue and multicoloured, Pansau Na Isna with hat at left, arms top centre, reverse blue, volcano at centre. Pansau Na Isna was first depicted on a Guinee-Bissau 50 pesos dated 1975. The design described above is very similar to the Banco Nacional da Guinee-Bissau 50 pesos. As a point of interest the actual issuing bank was Banco de Cabo Verde and not Banco Nacional da Cabo Verde as appears on the current example. It can be surmised presumably that a common design was envisaged for both countries. Refer to Banknotes of Destiny p.173. this bank unrecorded as an issuing bank, unlisted in either Pick or Linzmayer, unique (2)
