The inclusion of tactile marks — raised intaglio dots placed at a note's corner — reflects a BSP accessibility initiative formalized in the New Generation Currency series, giving visually impaired users a means to distinguish denominations by touch alone. The 500 Piso denomination carries a specific tactile pattern distinct from other values in the series.
Seal Type 7 denotes the current BSP governor's signature block, updated as administrations change. The abacá fiber content is not incidental — the Philippines is the world's dominant source of abacá, and its use in banknote paper has been a deliberate domestic sourcing policy for decades.
