Aesthetic and security features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The design of the new banknote is characterised by a distinctive aesthetic, employing various shades of red. To ensure public recognition, the CBUAE maintained the colour characteristics of the current denomination. Furthermore, the design incorporates the UAE nation brand with drawings and inscriptions created using advanced printing techniques. The front of the new banknote features the Um Al Quwain National Fort, a historical and cultural monument. This fort also serves as a national attraction, bridging the past with the present. The reverse side features Port of Fujairah, one of the country\u2019s largest ports and a major shipping and maritime transport centre. Additionally, it showcases the Etihad Rail, a railway network that connects the seven Emirates and extends to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The Etihad Rail plays a pivotal role in strengthening social ties and supporting sustainable economic development through its integrated infrastructure and logistics. To enhance consumers\u2019 confidence and combat counterfeiting, the AED 100 banknote incorporates advanced security features that include modern technologies such as SPARK Flow\u00ae DIMENSIONS, and multi-coloured security chip technology known as KINEGRAM COLORS\u00ae. The polymer banknotes are more durable and sustainable than traditional paper banknotes, lasting two or more times longer in circulation. In this issue, the CBUAE maintained its consideration of all banknote users by adding prominent symbols in Braille to help blind and visually impaired consumers to identify the banknote\u2019s value.
