50 Ariary motto C

The KM#25.2 variant is distinguished from KM#25.1 by a revised motto positioning on the reverse — a minor but catalogically significant difference that emerged as Madagascar's central bank updated die specifications in the early 2000s. Madagascar adopted the ariary as its sole official currency in 2005, ending the parallel use of the Malagasy franc after four decades of dual denomination circulation, which makes this precise year one of the more historically loaded in the series.
