* End of an Era - Queen Elizabeth the Second 1926-2022 EllR* 

 

1st September 2022

Hutt River Province (Australia) - A Full set of five notes, reportedly issued in 1974, with denominations of 10, 20, 50 cents, $1 and $2. These notes were once 'legal tender' at Hunt River Province between 1974 to early 2020. Since this self-proclaimed micronation closed its door in August 2020, these notes are now truly collectibles, and the interesting part is that this Hutt River Province managed to survive for 50 years, until the global pandemic brought them down!  

 

4th September 2022

Jersey - A £10 note bearing the signature of Laura Rowley. This is a reprint of the 2010 series. Laura Rowley took over the Treasurer role on 01.11.2010, following the resignation of Ian Black due to poor health. Laura Rowley left the Treasury on 14.07.2014, and was replaced by Richard W Bell. During her tenure as the Treasurer of Jersey, two notes were issued with here signature on it. The other note was the 2012 100 pounds released celebrating Queen Elizabeth the Second's Diamond Jubilee.

7th September 2022

Solomon Islands - I have added the $2 Specimen note nd1997 to my previous posting. I am still missing the $5 specimen piece to complete this Specimen series. Only five notes were issued for this series.

 

12th September 2022

Laos - A full set of 6 notes released between 1962 and 1963. I have most of these notes for more than 20 years, and recently I acquired one last note to complete this series. However, the signatures for this series are not the same, but at least I have one note each for the series.

16th September 2022

Laos - This is a 1000 kip dated 2008, and the only issued note with this year date. This note is unique as it was claimed that this note was withdrawn from circulation because of the design on the front of the note. I have no confirmation on this, and if you wonder, there are plenty in the market at a very affordable price.

 

19th September 2022 - In memory of the late Queen Elizabeth The Second 1926 - 2022

Gibraltar - Today is the funeral procession of the late Queen Elizabeth the Second, who passed away on 08.09.2022, at the age of 96. Here I have posted a £10 note dated 2016 note, to commemorate her life as a Queen. This is a reprint of the current series first introduced in 2010. Since the passing of the Queen, it has been reported that plans are under way to redesign and to replace the portrait of the Queen with the image of the new King, Charles The lll. It was also mentioned that some may even consider removing the image of the monarch from their new design of notes too. For Australia, new coins with the bust of King Charles the lll are expected to be minted and released sometimes next year 2023, and planning is underway to replace the current $5 note with his portrait too. No doubt, going forward for the next few years or so, we will expect to see new notes with King Charles The lll for the United Kingdom (Bank of England), as well as for those British Overseas Territories too. Nation/Territorise that currently have the British monarch on their banknotes are the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, New Zealand, and Saint Helena.

Nagorno-Karabakh Republic - Posted are the two and only notes issued in 2004 for the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh region in Azerbaijan. These two are large size notes, and I am wondering if they are still releasing them. The face values for these two notes are nominal, and I was told that they were released more of a souvenir notes, rather than for circulation. It is not sure if they were negotiable back in 2004 when it was released. I believe the entire project was carried out by someone who was then based in New York in the United States of America. 

 

28th September 2022

Libya - I have added the commemorative note of 20 dinars first print that was issued in 2002, to my previous post. This note was issued commemorating the Organisation of African Unity meeting in Sirte (known as the Sirte Declaration), on the 8th and 9th of September 1999 in Libya. The designs on these two notes are the same, except the signatures. It took me awhile to get this note to add to my commemorative collections.
