...Vanuatu - 100, 500 and 1000 Vatu ND1982, Album Matching Numbers Set First Issue Souvenir set

Vanuatu

Souvenir Set of First Issue of Three Notes

The set below was put together by the Central Bank of Vanuatu in 1982 to celebrate the first set of Vanuatu banknotes issued by the country following gaining independence from Britain and France in 1980. These folder note sets were sold at a premium and all three notes come with AA prefix and with low matching serial numbers. I believe there are no certificates issued for this release nor are there any overprint on the album that housed the notes. All notes were signed by Philip Shing (President) and John A Howard (General Manager). Other denominations were later added to the Vatu series, with Vt5000 in 1989, Vt200 in 1995 and Vt10,000 (polymer) in 2010. We will expect to see more new notes from Vanuatu, all polymers, to be released including the new Vt2,000 later, and this will depend on the current remaining stock of the paper notes. These notes were printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co Ltd, New Malden, Surrey, England.
