AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Banknotes issued in the Belgian Congo and Rwanda-Urundi: 100 francs from 1951 and 1953. These iconic issues depict elephants on the obverse and Ankole cattle on the reverse, one of the most recognizable patterns of colonial currency in Central Africa.
Both banknotes show signs of natural wear consistent with their age, with visible creases but intact paper and clearly readable details. Original, identical pairs are becoming increasingly rare on the collector's market. An attractive and historically valuable duo.
