New 10 euros bill

The design of the new bill contains a number of unique features that make it difficult to counterfeit:

Touch.

• The texture is firm and durable. On the front there is a series of embossed short lines on the left and right edges.

See.

• In the watermark there is a portrait of Europe, Greek mythology character. The image comes from a vase, found in southern Italy and kept in the Louvre, of over 2,000 years old.
• When held up to the light one can see the € symbol on the security thread next to the value in white characters of reduced size.

Rotate.

• In the hologram , ie, the silver band on the right side of the front, a portrait of Europe is displayed and inside a window, in addition to the € symbol.
• In the lower left corner of the bill value there is a metallic luster. The number changes color from emerald green to dark blue.
