About this banknote

The Banque de l'Algérie issued the 10 nouveaux francs banknote on June 2, 1961. This series was introduced following the revaluation of the Algerian franc in 1960, where 100 old francs were exchanged for 1 new franc, aligning with the French franc's revaluation.

The front of the banknote features an image of the Egyptian goddess Isis on the right side. The reverse design mirrors that of Pick #104, depicting a scene of fieldwork inspired by an ancient Roman mosaic. The note measures 185 x 93 mm and was printed by the Banque de France.
