Banknote
A Malagasy banknote issued by Banky Foiben'i Madagasikara
to the value of 500 Ariary. On the front is depicted an old Malagasy woman sewing, and on the reverse oriented vertically, a grey heron, radiated tortoise, Verreaux's sifaka, and nymphalid butterfly. There is a watermark of a zebu head. This design dates back to 1992, but notes bearing this signature (Gouverneur Gaston Edouard Ravelojaona) were not introduced until 1996. Printed by Thomas De La Rue of the United Kingdom.
