This is one of the rarest birds in the world, and it is believed that there are less than 500 birds in the country. The Philippines eagle represents the country's uniqueness, strength, power, and love for freedom, as well as a sharp vision for the future. The other symbol is the Sampaguita (Jasminum sambac flower) in the form of a see-through window. The Sampaguita symbolises purity, simplicity, humility, and strength. On the right is another see-through window, and on the window, it features the National Coat of Arms, and beneath that is the new logo of the Central Bank of The Philippines.

 

Back - The design on the back is basically the same as the last paper banknote issued. On the left is the outline map of the Philippines. The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, a UNESCO World Site, is printed on the background, with a turtle swimming and below that is a South Sea Pearl oyster. The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is situated between the main island of Mindanao and the island of Palawan. A colourful Lion fish is also depicted swimming in the reef. On the right is the strip weaver design called T'nalak. This feature was first introduced on the 1000 piso paper note issued in 2020 as the Windowed Security Thread (WST).

...Mozambique - 2024 Polymer And Paper New Series Full Set All Dated 2024

República de Moçambique

(Republic of Mozambique)

 

Banco de Moçambique, Est.1975

(Bank of Mozambique)

Currency - Metical (MZD)

 

Here is a full set of six notes all dated and issued on 16.06.2024. This is the fifth series of banknotes issued since gaining independence from the Portuguese in 1975. This series of new notes was first announced on 17.05.2024 by the central bank governor Rogerio Zandamela. 

Just like the 2011 series banknotes, this series employs a mixed substrate strategy. The three lower denominations are all printed on GUARDIAN polymer substrate material and the other three denominations are printed on cotton based paper material. These notes were released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the end of the War of Independence which started on 25.09.1964 and ended on 08.09.1974. Mozambique achieved independence on 25.06.1975, and continued to use the Escudo currency for the next five years issued by the previous occupier but with the words 'BANCO DE MOCAMBIQUE' printed on the front of all the notes.

The currency of 'Meticais' was first introduced on 16.06.1980, five years after gaining independence and replaced the Escudo currency at par. Since then, the Meticais currency went on a roller coaster ride due to severe inflation. In 2005, the Meticais was the least valued currency in the world with an exchange rate of 24,500 meticais against one US dollar. Then came the Zimbabwean dollar to their rescue and snatch the title away from them. The Meticais currency then redenominated in 2006 at a rate of 1000 old meticais for one new meticais. The word 'Meticais' is an Arabic word (Mithqal) meaning Gold Dinar. Today, the exchange rate for one USD is about 65+/- medicals.

Like the last two series, the design on the front for all six notes are all similar in appearance with the portrait of the country's first President Samora Moises Machel (b.1933-1986), except for the colour and the denomination of the notes.

The theme on the back each depicts a unique element of Mozambique, such as the country's history, fauna, education, marine resources and agriculture.

Below are some of the features for this series: -

1) All the new banknotes integrate modern security features but vary according to the substrate used.

2) For the three lower denominations polymer notes, they are all printed with a see-through window, an iridescent stripe, high relift printing (tactile), a shadow image and a clear window.

 

For the remaining notes of 200, 500 and 1000 meticais are all printed with a security thread, color-changing ink, a watermark, a see-through feature, an iridescent stripe and high-relief printing.
