Frequently asked questions

Which periods and banknote groups are represented in the Cape Verde category?

This shop’s Cape Verde catalog represents issues identified as the 1977 and 1989 series. The listed group includes the 1977 100 Escudos note referenced as Pick 54a, together with 1989 notes referenced as Pick 57 and Pick 60a. These examples describe the scope of the shop catalog rather than every banknote issued for Cape Verde.

Which denominations appear in this Cape Verde banknote catalog?

The catalog includes product titles for 100 Escudos and 1,000 Escudos banknotes. The 100 Escudos denomination is represented by the 1977 Pick 54a and the 1989 Pick 57, while the 1,000 Escudos denomination is represented by the 1989 Pick 60a. This makes it possible to compare denominations as well as series within the represented material.

How can I identify the 1977 Cape Verde 100 Escudos banknote?

Use the combination of country, series year, denomination and catalog reference. In this shop’s records, the 1977 Cape Verde 100 Escudos banknote is identified as Pick 54a, also written PIC 54a in the product title and model. Checking all four details helps distinguish it from the later 1989 100 Escudos entry, which carries Pick 57.

What is the difference between Cape Verde Pick 57 and Pick 60a?

Both references belong to the 1989 series in this shop’s catalog, but they identify different denominations. Pick 57 is titled as a 100 Escudos banknote, whereas Pick 60a is titled as a 1,000 Escudos banknote. Collectors should therefore check both the Pick reference and face value rather than relying on the series year alone when identifying these notes.

What should a buyer verify before ordering a Cape Verde banknote?

Check the product title, series year, denomination and Pick reference carefully. The supplied records title the notes in Escudos, although their description fields also contain the word “Franc,” so the specific listing should be reviewed for consistency before purchase. Product images are stated to be for reference, and the serial number pictured is not the serial number that will necessarily be supplied.

Why are two different Cape Verde 100 Escudos references shown in the catalog?

The shop catalog represents 100 Escudos notes from two different series: Pick 54a is associated with 1977, while Pick 57 is associated with 1989. Although the denomination is the same, the year and Pick number distinguish the catalog entries. This pairing is useful for collectors arranging Cape Verde notes by series, denomination or standard catalog reference.
