The rapid withdrawal of the old notes led to severe cash shortages in early 2023, until the Supreme Court ruled that old and new notes could circulate side by side. The 500 Naira honours Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (1904–1996), a leader of Nigeria's independence movement and the country's first President. This 2025 note is signed by governor Olayemi Cardoso and director of currency operations Adetona Sikiru Adedeji.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portrait of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe with ornamental patterns adapted from traditional Nigerian art, and the value in Latin and Ajami script.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e An offshore oil rig platform, symbol of Nigeria's oil industry, with the national coat of arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 151 × 78 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circulating banknote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nigerian naira\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nigeria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Central Bank of Nigeria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue:\u003c\/strong\u003e TBB B245g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardoso and Adedeji\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Azikiwe watermark with CBN500 electrotype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXF (Extremely Fine) \/ Lightly circulated.\u003c\/strong\u003e A lightly circulated note with a few light folds, still crisp, with bright colours and sharp design details.
