Description

This banknote is a captivating example of historical currency, showcasing intricate details and artistic elements typical of its era.

This design not only reflects cultural significance but also embodies the art of currency production with microprint and watermarks present for authenticity. The overall composition speaks to both the aesthetics and functional aspects of banknotes, aiming to deter counterfeiting while celebrating national heritage.


Obverse (front)
The front of the banknote features a prominent portrait of a historical figure, demonstrating fine engraving techniques which highlight facial details and expressions. Surrounding the portrait are intricate ornamental designs in a deep blue hue, which add depth and visual interest. The banknote incorporates security features such as a watermark and microtext, arranged within decorative borders.
