The Bank of Namibia has announced the introduction of a special N$60.00 Commemorative Banknote in tribute to Dr. Hage G. Geingob, Namibia’s third president, who served from 2015 until his passing in February 2024. This limited-edition banknote honours his lifelong dedication to Namibia’s democracy, economic growth, and social inclusion.
Printed on durable polymer, the Dr. Hage G. Geingob Commemorative Banknote showcases a transparent portrait of Dr. Geingob, symbolizing his enduring influence. It features advanced security elements, including coloured intaglio print, Argentum silver ink, and gold accents that become visible when tilted. The Independence Memorial Museum appears in a secondary transparent window, reinforcing national pride. The banknote will officially be issued on 17 March 2025 and will circulate alongside existing Namibian banknotes and coins, serving both as legal tender and a collector’s item.
Explaining the significance of the N$60 denomination, Bank of Namibia Governor Mr. Johannes !Gawaxab stated:
"Dr. Geingob dedicated 60 years of his life to serving Namibia—through his years in exile, his return, and his leadership in an independent nation. The number 60 carries deep symbolic meaning, reflecting his unwavering commitment over the decades."
Currently, the following Namibia Dollar banknotes are in circulation: N$10, N$20, N$30, N$50, N$100, and N$200.
