Banknotes from colonial and then independent Equatorial Africa are sought after by many enthusiasts but remain very difficult to classify. The multiple banks, the numerous territorial titles, the various series, make listing one's collection a real headache. The objective of this work - The rating of banknotes from Equatorial Africa - is first of all to establish a new, more practical and clearer classification, and, as far as possible, to propose coherent ratings.

The first part is devoted to Colonial Equatorial Africa from the 1920s to the end of the 1950s. The second part, to Independent Equatorial Africa, from 1959; the country of destination is then indicated either clearly or in the form of a letter.

A systematic check was carried out from our database, sales of colleagues and specialized sites in order to determine the series, the variants, the rarities and to propose the most up-to-date ratings possible. Of course, the collectibles market is evolving, but the rarity indices and value dynamics are well established.

The numerous resulting tables should quickly trigger very targeted research, and we are certain that discoveries will be numerous.

The Equatorial African Banknote Rating is a tool for collectors; it is intended to be practical and clear, both concise and comprehensive.
