The Bank of Algeria issued a new 2,000-dinar banknote in November 2017 in order to convey messages from the history of Algeria and pay homage to the martyrs of the Revolution.

The face of the note will show the busts of six architects of the Algerian Revolution against France in the 1950s: Rabah Bitat, Mustapha Ben Boulaïd, Mourad Didouche, Mohamed Boudiaf, Krim Belkacem and Larbi Ben M’hidi.

The inspiration for the design was a photo, taken just before the outbreak of the war against France on Nov. 1, 1954, bringing together the six, all leaders of the National Liberation Front. Three of them did not survive the revolution.

The back of the new banknote has a photo of the tomb of Imedghassen and of Fogara Beni Foughil in Adrar province.
