Pick 108 was issued across an unusually long window — over a decade — without a fundamental redesign, which is notable for a period when most central banks in the region were actively updating security specifications. Sri Lanka itself was living through the civil conflict with the LTTE throughout this entire span, and the economy absorbed significant pressure, yet the note remained in production largely unchanged.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement kept the technical standard consistent. The latent image feature was relatively new to Sri Lankan issues at this denomination when the series launched in 1995.
