Comments

(en)

When compared to an original, differences include:

- No watermark. (An authentic banknotes has multiple water marks.)

- The colour of the serial numbers. (On a real banknote, they are printed using different ink. In this case, it's the same as the rest of the banknote.)

- The colour of the banknote in general. (The colour of real banknotes tends to age from black into dark brown. This banknote's colour is orange. Thus, the contrast between the paper and the banknote ink is very low.)

- General detailing. (Fine lines of faces and the resulting facial expressions of the figures on top right/left are missing. The lines around the denominations are often missing or just dotted, lacking the visual depth, usually common for these banknotes. Furthermore, the writing, despite being correct, is very hard to read.)
