Zabezpieczenia:

Banknot ma dwa solidne paski zabezpieczające. Szerszy z nich jest podzielony na siedem części na awersie. Drugi z nich to czarny wąski pasek umieszczony bardziej na środku banknotu. Pod światło oba paski są widoczne, a napis "50KR" powtarza się na szerszym pasku:

Banknot został sprawdzony pod kątem aktywności UV przy użyciu lampy UVC (254nm) i UVA (365nm). W świetle UVC nie widać nic nadzwyczajnego.

Oto aktywność UV przy 365nm:
