Frequently asked questions

What types of New Hebrides banknotes are represented in this shop’s catalog?

This New Hebrides category includes banknotes from two different periods represented by the catalog: a 500 Francs note dated 1970 and a 100 Francs note dated 1979. The listings identify them with Pick references P19a and P18b respectively. This FAQ describes the New Hebrides notes represented in this shop’s catalog, rather than every banknote that may have been issued for the country.

Which denominations and Pick references can collectors find in the New Hebrides category?

The catalog represents two denominations: 100 Francs and 500 Francs. The 100 Francs banknote is listed as Pick P18b, while the 500 Francs banknote is listed as Pick P19a. These references provide a useful way to organise a New Hebrides collection and distinguish the catalogued notes by denomination and type.

How can I identify the New Hebrides banknotes listed here?

Begin by checking the denomination, year and Pick reference shown in the listing. The 100 Francs note is dated 1979 and identified as P18b, while the 500 Francs note is dated 1970 and identified as P19a. The product descriptions also specify signature numbers, which can help distinguish the listed variants: Signature 3 for P18b and Signature 1 for P19a.

What variant details should I compare when collecting these New Hebrides notes?

Signature information is an important comparison point in the catalog. The 1979 100 Francs P18b listing specifies Signature 3, whereas the 1970 500 Francs P19a listing specifies Signature 1. Collectors can record these details alongside the denomination, year and Pick reference. The listing image should also be consulted, as each description states that the banknote corresponds with the image.

What should I check before buying a New Hebrides banknote from this category?

Before buying, compare the product title with the displayed banknote and confirm the denomination, year, Pick reference and signature designation. The two listed notes are described as UNC, so this condition label should be checked against the individual product information. For the 100 Francs note, verify P18b and Signature 3; for the 500 Francs note, verify P19a and Signature 1.

What is a notable pattern among the New Hebrides notes represented in the catalog?

The represented New Hebrides notes show a change in both denomination and signature designation between the two dated listings. The earlier 1970 example is a 500 Francs banknote, identified as P19a with Signature 1. The later 1979 example is a 100 Francs banknote, identified as P18b with Signature 3. This combination of date, denomination, Pick reference and signature offers a clear structure for comparing the catalogued examples.
