Cabo Verde's first polymer-adjacent security upgrade on a cotton substrate — the holographic strip on this 2024 issue marks a meaningful departure from the previous series, which relied on more conventional thread-based security. De La Rue's involvement is consistent with the long relationship between TDLR and Lusophone African issuers, though Cabo Verde has historically kept its series small and infrequently updated given the archipelago's limited domestic circulation requirements.
P#73 is a recent addition to a short Pick sequence — the entire independent Banco de Cabo Verde note catalogue spans fewer than 80 catalogue numbers across five decades of issuance.
