Banknot P#43a i P#43b, zauważ jak różne są efekty holograficzne w nitkach zabezpieczających:

Nitka zabezpieczająca (P#43c):

Podzielona na cztery sekcje na awersie, pod światło widać powtarzający się napis "BOT 5000".

Nitka zabezpieczająca ma wielokolorowy odcień i falisty efekt holograficzny, kolory zmieniają się między niebieskim a dwoma różnymi odcieniami fioletu, gdy banknot jest przechylony.

Nitka zabezpieczająca ma inny efekt holograficzny na P#43a i P#43b [zdjęcia do przesłania]

Głowa żyrafy na rewersie w kształcie diamentu jest wydrukowana atramentem zmieniającym kolor - zmienia kolory między złotym, żółtym i limonkowym, wraz z efektem toczącego się paska, gdy banknot jest przechylany pod różnymi kątami:

Ukryty obraz w fioletowej przestrzeni w rombie poniżej herbu Tanzanii na awersie - dwukrotnie powtórzony nominał "5000" można zobaczyć po dokładnym przyjrzeniu się lub przechyleniu banknotu:

P#43a and P#43b banknote, notice how the holographic effects in the security threads are different:

Security thread (P#43c):

Windowed into four sections on the obverse side, when seen under a backlight, the inscription “BOT 5000” is seen repeated throughout.

The security thread has a multicolour tone and a wavy holographic effect, the colours switch between blue and two different shades of purple when the note is tilted.

The security thread has a different holographic effect on P#43a and P#43b [photos to be uploaded]

The giraffe's head in the diamond reverse side is printed in colour shifting ink - changes colours between gold, yellow, and lime green along with a rolling bar effect when the banknote is tilted in different angles:

Latent image in the purple space in the diamond below the Tanzanian coat of arms on the obverse side - denomination “5000” repeated two times can be seen when looked at closely or the note is tilted:
