Description:

Offered here is an extremely rare and highly collectible 1 note from the short-lived Republic of Biafra, a secessionist state in southeastern Nigeria that existed between 1967 and 1970 during the Nigerian Civil War.

This banknote is historically significant, issued under intense economic conditions, and stands as a symbolic representation of a nation that briefly declared its independence. The front features a majestic palm tree with rising sun, while the back shows the Biafran coat of arms with the powerful motto: Peace, Unity, Freedom.

🔍 Collector Highlights:

  • One of the rarest denominations issued by the Republic of Biafra

  • Increasingly scarce in any condition due to limited print runs

  • A centerpiece for African, wartime, or defunct nation currency collections

  • Historical and political significance, especially for African independence movements
