New 2000 naira note
You're referring to the newly redesigned 2000 Naira note!
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a new series of banknotes in 2021, featuring a new design and enhanced security features. The 2000 Naira note is one of the denominations in this new series.
Here are some key features of the new 2000 Naira note:
- Design: The note features a portrait of the late Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on the obverse (front side). The reverse (back side) features a collage of images representing the country's rich cultural heritage, including traditional clothing, musical instruments, and architectural landmarks.
- Security features: The note has several advanced security features to prevent counterfeiting, including:
- A transparent window with a hologram image of the Central Bank of Nigeria's logo.
- A 3D image of the Nigerian coat of arms that shifts from a light to a dark color when tilted.
- A watermarked image of the Emir's portrait that appears when held against light.
- A unique serial number that is difficult to replicate.
- Color scheme: The note has a predominantly blue and green color scheme, with a subtle texture to make it easier to distinguish from other denominations.
The new 2000 Naira note is an important step in the CBN's efforts to modernize the country's currency and reduce the risk of counterfeiting.
