Monarchy Coins | Republic | Foreign | Former Portuguese Colonies | Stamps
The banknotes of the former colony of Cape Verde form an essential component of Portuguese ultramarine paper‑money, comprising fiduciary issues produced from the 19th century to 1975 to support the economic and administrative needs of the archipelago. These issues, mainly from the Banco Nacional Ultramarino, include banknotes, certificates, specimens and fiduciary documents that illustrate monetary reforms, evolving denominations, territorial iconography and the financial structure of the colonial administration. Their historical relevance and diversity make them highly valued by collectors and researchers studying Portuguese overseas monetary history. Banknotes issued after Cape Verde’s independence are not part of this category and are listed under Foreign Banknotes → Africa → Cape Verde.
