2003 North Macedonia 500 Denari issued banknote DA8148021 featuring the Golden Death Mask motif, graded PMG 67 EPQ

North Macedonia 2003 - 500 Denari Issued Note DA8148021 Golden Death Mask (Pick 21a)

The printing architecture follows the standard De La Rue security model of the period.

This layered approach combines aesthetic depth with functional anti-counterfeiting performance. Read more →
