Polymer security stripe
The transparent polymer security stripe, 15 mm wide, is embedded into the banknote paper. Thanks to the polymer stripe, with no paper in its centre, an oval-shaped transparent window appears in the lower part of the note. When held up to the light, a snowflake with the surrounding window frost pattern becomes visible. When viewed from a certain angle, the snowflake appears light against a dark blue background or dark blue against a light background.
