SECURITY
FEATURES |
|
See-through Feature
On all of the banknotes, there are fish in the
bottom left hand corner on the front of the notes.
When the notes are held up to the light, parts of
the fish fill in, as areas on the back of the
note line up perfectly with the front. |
|
Watermark
There is a watermark depicting Queen Elizabeth II
on each of the notes. The mould-made watermark
appears three-dimensional when the note is held
up to the light. |
|
Security Thread
The security thread has been upgraded. When the
banknote is viewed from the front under reflected
UV light, the letters ECCB and the denominational
value of the note are clearly visible in yellow,
against a blue background.
A second security thread has also been added.
This is a narrow, continuous black line, to the
left of the Queen's portrait. |
|
Electrotype
The electrotype reads "ECCB" and
enhances the visibility and security of the
traditional mould-made watermark. |
|
Intaglio Over Foil
The notes bear a highly reflective foil, which
shows the denomination. The letters ECCB and the
denomination can be seen in small print around
the foil. The presence of intaglio enhances the
security of the notes. |
|
Silver Metallic Ink
A compass rose is printed in silver coloured ink
on the back of the notes. The ink gives a
metallic lustre to the image, and enhances its
appearance. |
|
Iridescent print
On the back of the notes, there is an area
printed with a special iridescent ink, which has
a golden sheen. If you move the note around in
the light, you can see the image of several
fishes which appear and disappear depending on
the angle of view. |
