As the heading goes, this site is dedicated to Hybrid banknotes only. This is a very specialised area of collections and in general, Hybrid banknotes are usually printed on high denominations or the top end of currency of a country. However despite saying this, there are few exceptions where Hybrid banknotes are printed on an entire series. I believe there are less than 300 pieces of Hybrid banknotes issued so far (including reprints), and apart from one or two pieces, the rest are still obtainable to collectors.

Fifty Dollars
Dated 2020, Matapos Balancing rocks near the town of Epworth

This note is dated 2020 but released on 06.07.2021. The design on the front is the same as those previously released since 2019. On the front, it depicts the Matapos Balancing rocks near the town of Epworth.
 
On the back, the design of this note depicts the portrait of a sad looking face of Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana. Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana was a spirit medium. She was one of the leaders that revolted against the British colonisation of Zimbabwe. She was captured by the British and executed in 1898, aged 58. In the background is the Tomb of the Unknown soldiers. I suppose this note honoured her and those unknown soldiers for their courage and bravery for standing up to the more powerful enemies at the time. Imagine you only had stones and sticks against the invaders with guns and cannons.
 
Governor - Dr John Panonetsa Mangudya (since 01.05.2014)
Dimensions - 156.5mm x 67.5mm

Nehanda Charwe Nyakasikana, Tomb of the Unknown soldiers
