Mauritania 500 Ouguiya 2002 Banknote UNC | Pick P-8c | GlobeNote

Mauritania 500 Ouguiya banknote issued in 2002 (P-8c) by the Central Bank of Mauritania. This example is offered in UNC condition and is a clean, catalogue-ready piece for a world banknote collection.

The obverse features Ornamental design with holographic patch. This front design gives the note its first identity: issuer, denomination, national symbolism, portraiture, monument, wildlife, or state authority condensed into a collectible object.

The reverse depicts Harvesters in the field and mining complex. The back completes the story, often moving from official authority to landscape, architecture, industry, agriculture, nature, or cultural memory.

For collectors, this note works well as a single affordable addition or as part of a broader country run, Pick-number set, regional collection, or thematic album. It has the essential coordinates that make a banknote easy to catalogue: country, denomination, year, condition and reference number.
