Introduced on 23. January 2019.

The numbers used in the first column are taken from (or linked to) Owen Linzmayer's The Banknote Book (bold) and Krause Publications' Standard Catalog of World Paper Money (in brackets).
The bold text at the beginning of the description of every variety indicates those elements, which are necessary to identify the correct variety (if any) without any doubt.
