Solomon Islands new 50-dollar note (B224a) confirmed

According to an article on the Solomn Islands Broadcasting Corporation dated 27 September 2013, the Central Bank of Solomon Islands introduced a brand new 50-dollar note on 26 September 2013. This is the first denomination in a new family to be issued over the course of the next few years. While an image of the note is not yet available, the following has been reported:

“On the front of the note, local basket weave designs are intended to represent the swirling movement of shoals of fish whilst indigenous fauna and flora – including an iguana, lizard and snake – are shown on the back. The most prominent security feature is [De La Rue‘s] Optiks super wide security thread with a transparent window.”
