1000 Ouguiya Mauritania Polymer Banknote UNC

Description

A fascinating 1000 Ouguiya banknote from Mauritania, issued in 2014 by the Central Bank of Mauritania. Printed on polymer (Guardian™), this note showcases the distinctive geometric and ornamental designs associated with Mauritanian culture.

The obverse features intricate geometric and native motifs along with Arabic inscriptions identifying the Central Bank of Mauritania and the denomination. The reverse presents a bowl with fish, a camel, a hut, and the historic Tichit Mosque, offering a glimpse into Mauritania’s cultural heritage and traditional imagery.

This banknote belongs to the Old Ouguiya currency, which was later demonetized following the 2018 currency redenomination. Its polymer composition, attractive design, and now-demonetized status make it an interesting addition to a world banknote collection.

Condition: UNC (Uncirculated) — a crisp example with no signs of circulation, making the detailed artwork and security features particularly appealing to collectors.
