Madagascar 200 Ariary Banknote – 2004 Issue – Pick 87b – UNC
Discover Madagascar’s architectural and artistic heritage with this 200 ariary banknote from the 2004 series. Issued by Banky Foiben’i Madagasikara, it displays the equivalent denomination of 1,000 Malagasy francs, reflecting the relationship of five francs to one ariary.
The front depicts a village entrance, framed by decorative patterns in green and tan over a multicoloured background. The imagery offers a glimpse of Madagascar’s built environment and traditional surroundings.
The reverse features aloalo, carved wooden funerary monuments associated with Malagasy cultural traditions. Their distinctive sculptural forms make this note particularly appealing to collectors interested in traditional art and cultural heritage.
Catalogued as Pick 87b, this variety is distinguished by its signature and belongs to the series introduced in 2004. Offered in uncirculated condition (UNC/SC), it makes an attractive addition to collections of Madagascan currency, African banknotes, or traditional architecture and sculpture.
