Fifty Dollars

Dated 2020, Matapos Balancing rocks near the town of Epworth

This note is dated 2020 but released on 06.07.2021. The design on the front is the same as those previously released since 2019. On the front, it depicts the Matapos Balancing rocks near the town of Epworth.

 

On the back, the design of this note depicts the portrait of a sad looking face of Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana. Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana was a spirit medium. She was one of the leaders that revolted against the British colonisation of Zimbabwe. She was captured by the British and executed in 1898, aged 58. In the background is the Tomb of the Unknown soldiers. I suppose this note honoured her and those unknown soldiers for their courage and bravery for standing up to the more powerful enemies at the time. Imagine you only had stones and sticks against the invaders with guns and cannons.
