The Rufiyaa sign (ރ) incorporated into this note's denomination marking is a relatively recent standardization — the Maldives Monetary Authority pushed for formal Unicode recognition of the symbol, which was accepted in 2015 under Unicode 8.0. Its appearance on circulating polymer issues reflects an effort to anchor the currency's visual identity around that official character rather than the romanized "Rf" abbreviation that had appeared on earlier series.
De La Rue's polymer substrate here is Safeguard — not Australian polymer (Innovia/CCL). The distinction matters for collectors tracking substrate variants across the MMA's modern issues.
