Banknotes issued between late 1979 and 1980 are known as surcharge notes, distinguished by the King's portrait being obscured with arabesque overprint. This modification was carried out by the renowned printing company De La Rue. These notes feature a variety of ink colours, including light green, dark green, and black. Due to their brief circulation period, they are considered rare and highly collectible.
