Most currencies just sit there. These? They groove. Cape Verde just dropped two redesigned banknotes so full of style and rhythm, they could headline a music festival.
🎷 Introducing the New 1,000 and 2,000 Escudo Stars
In the latest twist of “wait, is this a banknote or an album cover?”, Cape Verde has introduced freshly redesigned 1,000 and 2,000 escudo notes, and they’re absolute stunners.
- The 1,000 escudo features Codé di Dona, legend of the funaná, Cape Verde’s most foot-stomping, accordion-driven genre.
- The 2,000 escudo shines a spotlight on the queen of morna, Cesária Évora, the Barefoot Diva who made world stages weep—now immortalized in ink, paper, and UV security threads.
It’s not just currency. It’s cultural tribute. And at GlobeNote.net, we call that: high-value heritage.




🛡️ Security That Slaps (Harder Than a Bassline)
These notes don’t just look good. They defend themselves.
- Holographic bands? Check.
- Ultraviolet-reactive elements? Glows like a club flyer under blacklight.
- Microtext, iridescent inks, and tactile details? If a counterfeiter even tries, the note might slap him back.
It’s the kind of banknote tech that turns a collector’s head—and earns its place in the GlobeNote archives.
🔁 Old Notes Still Circulate – But Come On, Look at These
Both the previous versions and the new ones are currently legal tender. But let’s be honest: one is “money.” The other is money with a soundtrack.
Collectors, get both. Purists, slab the new ones. Newcomers? Start your collection with these and never look back.
