Obverse
and
reverse printed in dark grey / black. The design of the obverse is
equal to the H528. While the design of the reverse resembles the H528,
there are significant differences. The design shows the characters
"NRI" just above the denomination "50" and it shows the repeating
characters "NRI50" just below the denomination. Where the original
H528 shows a box with the legal text, this notes shows the picture of a
bull in the same area.
The serial number consists of 2
characters and 5 numbers. The characters are
printed
in Purple while the number is written
manually in
black or blue. The first character is always a
capital and
the second character is in lower case.The serial number is printed once
on the obverse in the lower left quadrant. The Character
combinations occur in fixed combinations as follows:
