These notes are like the preceding issues, but with a refined, modern aesthetic with richer colors, cleaner lines, and enhanced security features. The two lowest denominations are printed on a composite substrate which combines the durability of polymer with the familiar feel of paper, ensuring greater longevity and resilience. The upgraded banknotes incorporate tactile features to better support the visually impaired and partially sighted.
