<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 25566167, member: 130786&quot;]Nice #12 note from Isle of Man [USER=27107]@SteveInTampa[/USER]! Thanks for sharing.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>East Africa</b>: (former Zanzibar &amp; later Kenya)</p><p>Like many African nations, East African notes are very tough to find in original condition with nice eye appeal. Their QEII series began in 1953 with the <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0033.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0033.htm" rel="nofollow">5 Shillings (P-33)</a> a bright orange note with a lion portrayed on the reverse (similar to the King George VI series). The next 3 denominations (P-34 10/- ; P-35 20/- or 1 Pound &amp; <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0036.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0036.htm" rel="nofollow">P-36 100/- or 5 Pounds</a>) get slightly larger &amp; can be tougher to source.</p><p><br /></p><p>Their design was modernized in 1958 with more colour &amp; completely different design elements (eg: queen&#039;s portrait on the left). The first versions (P-37 5/- ; P-38 10/- ; P-39 20/- &amp; P-40 100/-) with 4 signatures on the right lasted only 2 years, while the 2nd version (P-41 5/- ; <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0042.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0042.htm" rel="nofollow">P-42 TEN SHILLINGS</a> ; <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0043.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/EAF/EAF0043.htm" rel="nofollow">P-43 TWENTY SHILLINGS</a> &amp; P-44 100/-) with an additional 3 signatures on the left panel, lasted from 1961-1963. These last versions (seen below), with the 7 signatures, are the more common notes to obtain in the higher grades. I&#039;m hoping to source one someday!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1637076[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
