The Bank of Namibia (BoN) has announced plans to launch a commemorative banknote in tribute to the late President Hage Geingob.
The new banknote according to BoN Governor Johannes !Gawaxab, aims to honor his significant contributions, leadership, and enduring legacy.
“In accordance with Section 38 (1) of the Bank of Namibia Act 2020 (Act No. 1 of 2020), as amended, the Bank has the exclusive mandate to issue legal tender in Namibia, including commemorative banknotes and coins that celebrate the nation’s pivotal historical events and personalities,” he said.
!Gawaxab added that the Hage Geingob commemorative banknote has been specially designed to celebrate his leadership, which was defined by peace, inclusivity, and resilience.
“This banknote will not only commemorate President Geingob’s achievements but will also celebrate Namibia’s progress as a nation shaped by his visionary leadership,” he said.
“The unveiling of the Dr. Hage Gottfried Geingob Commemorative Banknote will undoubtedly be a moment of pride and reflection for all Namibians.”
