Description: This 1982 São Tomé and Príncipe 50 Dobras banknote (P-59) celebrates the nation's rich history and natural beauty. The obverse highlights Rei Amador, the leader of a significant slave revolt in 1595, alongside the national Coat of Arms and a stunning depiction of the African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus). Floral lintel designs frame this vibrant amaranth-red note, which also features black serial numbers and an embedded metallic security thread for added authenticity.
On the reverse, fishermen navigate the river in boats with palm trees lining the shores and the iconic Pico Cão Grande in the background, symbolizing the archipelago’s unique landscapes. The watermark of Rei Amador serves as an additional security feature, reinforcing the authenticity of this cotton fiber note, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson, and Co., a renowned British printer.
