3. similar to 1. but without the National Emblem and with '100' near lower left

4. similar to the above but with most of the main features present and virtually a combination of 1, 2 and 3.

5. similar to 4. but in deeper red . This colour change is also stated in the printer's annotation in pencil.

6. uniface printing of the reverse in olive on WATERMARKED paper, Great Hall of the People at centre, bank title in different scripts upper right.
