1934A $10 North Africa Silver Certificate

Historic World War II Emergency Currency

The 1934A $10 North Africa Silver Certificate stands among the most popular emergency issues produced by the United States during World War II. Distinguished by its bright yellow Treasury seal, this note was specifically created for use by American military personnel serving in North Africa. The unique seal allowed the government to quickly demonetize the currency if large quantities were captured by enemy forces. Today, the North Africa Silver Certificate remains one of the most collected and recognizable wartime notes in American numismatics.

Premium PMG 58 EPQ Example

This example bears serial number B11902806A and has been professionally graded PMG 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated. The Exceptional Paper Quality designation is especially important because it confirms the paper remains original and free from pressing, restoration, or artificial enhancement.

This North Africa Silver Certificate displays bright paper, excellent eye appeal, and strong originality throughout. The vivid yellow seal contrasts beautifully against the note’s clean surfaces, while the sharp printing detail and balanced centering contribute to its impressive appearance.

Outstanding Originality and Eye Appeal

Collectors place a premium on original notes, and this North Africa Silver Certificate delivers exactly that. The paper remains crisp and attractive with no distracting stains, tears, or major flaws. The note retains much of its original character and presents far better than typically expected for the assigned grade.

Many North Africa notes experienced heavy handling during and after the war. Consequently, examples with the EPQ designation are significantly more difficult to locate and remain highly sought after by collectors.

Desirable Wartime Collectible

Only 12 million notes were printed in the 1934A B-A block, making it a relatively modest production compared to many other Silver Certificate issues. Combined with wartime use and limited survival in premium condition, these factors continue to drive collector demand.

This North Africa Silver Certificate offers an appealing combination of World War II history, PMG-certified originality, and attractive presentation. Whether added to a military currency collection, emergency issue set, or type note collection, this PMG 58 EPQ example is a standout piece with lasting collector appeal.
