About this banknote

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued this banknote series in 2008. It was introduced during a period of hyperinflation under the tenure of Dr. Gideon Gono, the then Governor of the Reserve Bank. The extreme denominations, such as the 250 million dollar note, were part of measures to address the rapidly devaluing currency.

The front side of the note features designs from the 2006-2008 Emergency Bearer Checks series, displaying a blue motif with the back of an elephant at a waterfall. This note, identified as Pick 59, utilized paper as its material and was printed in green and brown earth tones.
