Here, I have posted a full for five notes all reportedly released on 30.09.2025. The themes for this series are the same as those previously issued but with modified designs and additional security features added to the notes. On the front, the notes depict two Namibia national heroes and on the back it features all four-legged wild animals.
The two lower denominations of $10 and $20 are printed on Hybrid substrate materials and both have a transparent square window in the center right. The transparent window is measured 10 x 10mm. The remaining three notes are all printed on paper materials.
All notes are printed with the year date of 2025 on the back. The signature on each note is printed on the front and the serial number is also printed on the back.
Ten Dollars (Hybrid)
Front - On the front, the note depicts the portrait of Samuel Shafiishuna Daniel Nujoma (b.1929-2025). Samuel Nujoma was a Namibian revolutionary, anti-apartheid activist and served three terms as the first president of Namibia from 1990 to 2005. Namibia was once known as South West Africa, and was occupied by the Germans from 1884 to 1915. The South African forces (British) defeated the Germans occupier in 1915 during the First World War and in 1920, the League of Nations (similar to today's United Nations) granted the territory to South African rule. Fighting for independence started in 1966 between People's Liberation Army of Namibia and South African Defence Force and the war was called the South African Border War and this war was closely intertwined with the Angola Civil War (1975-2002). The war ended when the Tripartite Accord was signed by Angola, Cuba and South Africa and Namibia gained independence on 21.03.1993. In Namibia, Samuel Nujoma is known as the Founding Father of the Namibia Nation. To the center left is the Parliament building located in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia.
