Comments

(en)

On banknotes with the date 1st January 2012 (P#57a) the building on the reverse was incorrectly labelled Domasi Teachers Training College.

This was corrected in all subsequent issues, starting with June 2012 (P#57b) to the label Machinga Teachers Training College.

See below for a comparison between the labels on the reverse of P#57a and P#57b:

 

 

The features described below apply to both the P#57a and the P#57b note.

 

Under backlight the cornerstone watermarks can be seen:

 

The note has a solid security strip windowed into five pieces on the reverse. Under backlight the whole strip can be seen. It has “RBM 20” repeated on it:

 

On the obverse there is a gold iridescent ink patch which starts at the image of the boat and extends over the fish. It has “RBM” on it:
