To help visually impaired individuals identify the note by touch, a black tactile dot has been added next to the Ashoka Pillar. On the left side, inside an oval, there is a ‘silver metallic’ image of Maya Devi.


For security, the note includes a 2-mm-wide security thread that appears red when viewed straight and green when tilted.
