Rolling colour effect
Tilt the banknote to see a rolling colour effect, which is visible on both sides of the banknote.
About the feature
When the banknote is tilted, the colour of the ink changes and a rolling colour effect can be seen. On one side of the banknote this feature is within a bird shape, and on the other it is within a prominent patch.
Did you know?
- The rolling colour effect is visible from both sides. This is because it is printed over a window in the shape of the head and breast of the Eastern Spinebill.
- When the banknote is held up to the light, a shadow image of the rest of the bird’s body and legs can be seen.
- Images of the Prickly Moses wattle (Acacia verticillata subsp. ovoidea) are incorporated into the design of the patch.
