The serial number printed on the note is also rendered in green, making it an essential distinguishing element for the identification and classification of this specific variety. These chromatic characteristics, both of the paper and the serial number, are determining criteria for collectors and specialists seeking to differentiate the many variants produced during this period of severe monetary instability.
