Zimbabwe 1997 Reserve Bank 10 Dollars Pick 6 Zimbabwe Bird Watermark PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

This is a certified Zimbabwe, Reserve Bank 1997 10 Dollars note, identified by PMG as Pick# 6 and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. The holder lists serial number CW8654521, watermark Zimbabwe Bird, and Sign. #3. The back of the PMG holder confirms Exceptional Paper Quality, with certification number 2462681-021.

The face displays the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe title, the 10 Dollars denomination, the printed promise-to-pay language, and the date Harare 1997. The central vignette features Zimbabwe’s familiar balancing rocks, one of the most recognizable symbols used on the country’s banknotes. The reverse shows a scenic Zimbabwean landscape with wildlife motifs, continuing the natural-heritage theme of the series.

Issued in the 1990s, this note represents Zimbabwe’s regular Reserve Bank currency period before the later emergency bearer cheques, agro-cheques, and extreme hyperinflation denominations that made Zimbabwe paper money famous among modern collectors. As an earlier 10 Dollars type, it provides useful historical context for a chronological Zimbabwe collection, showing the design language and monetary format used before the later inflationary issues.

Certified PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, this example offers strong preservation, original paper quality, and clear third-party attribution. Its Pick 6 classification, Zimbabwe Bird watermark, 1997 date, and connection to Zimbabwe’s pre-hyperinflation paper-money history make it well suited for collectors of African banknotes, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issues, and high-grade certified world currency.
