The UAE's switch to silver-arm denominations in 2011 was driven partly by counterfeiting pressure on the older series, which had shown vulnerability at the 50-dirham level specifically. The revised security thread on this issue runs as a windowed rather than fully embedded strip — a meaningful upgrade over P#22 and its predecessors.
Cotton substrate on UAE notes of this period occasionally shows foxing along the edges under humid Gulf storage conditions, a known issue with this series rather than exceptional damage.
