Banknote Billet Mauritania 5000 ouguiya 2011

This 5000 ouguiyas banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Mauritania on November 28, 2011. It is a high face value denomination within the Mauritanian monetary system, the ouguiya being the official currency of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania since 1973, when it replaced the CFA franc.

This banknote is offered in UNC (Uncirculated) condition, meaning it has never been put into circulation and therefore presents a perfect state, with no trace of wear, fold or alteration. It thus retains all its original characteristics as defined at the time of its issue by the Mauritanian issuing authority.

Mauritanian banknotes from this period generally feature designs related to the country's cultural, historical and geographical identity, combining architectural representations, natural landscapes and references to the region's traditional craftsmanship. The colour palette and graphic elements are characteristic of banknote production standards of that era, incorporating security features aimed at preventing counterfeiting, such as watermarks, security threads and raised printing.

The banknote displays a face value of 5000 ouguiyas, making it one of the highest denominations in the Mauritanian monetary system. Its year of issue is 2011, making it a relatively recent specimen in the history of Mauritanian numismatics.
