The 2023 series marked SAMA's formal rebranding from "Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority" to "Saudi Central Bank" — a change made official by royal decree in 2020 but only gradually reflected across issued currency. This note is among the first to carry the new institutional name in Arabic and English, making it a transitional document of the reform rather than a purely routine replacement issue.
De La Rue's retention of the contract continues a printing relationship with the Kingdom stretching back decades.
