The FPP series shares many design cues with the
New Generation Currency Series banknotes, particularly the color scheme, elements on the reverse side, and font used throughout the bills. The difference lies in the material used for the bill, and the main feature designs on the obverse side. In this series, the BSP has decided not to include
20-piso and
200-piso banknote denominations in the polymer version.
50 piso Colored red, the main design shown on the front of the note depicts a portrait of
Visayan leopard cat (
Prionailurus bengalensis rabori) or locally called as
maral, and also features the clear window of Vidal's Lanutan flower (
Hibiscus campylosiphon). The main designs on the back show
Taal Lake, the
Giant Trevally (locally known as
Maliputo) (
Caranx ignobilis) and an embroidery design from
Batangas province.
100 piso Colored violet, the main design for this denomination on the front depicts a portrait of
Palawan peacock-pheasant (
Polyplectron napoleonis) or locally known as
tandikan, and also features the clear window of
Ceratocentron fesselii orchid flower. The main designs shown on the back feature the
Mayon Volcano, the
Whale Shark (locally known as
Butanding, scientific name
Rhincodon typus), and a weave design from
Bicol.
500 piso Colored yellow, the main design on the front of the note features the portrait of
Visayan spotted deer (
Rusa alfredi) or locally known as
lagsaw, and also features the clear window of
Acanthephippium mantinianum orchid flower. The main designs on the back of the note feature the
Subterranean River National Park, the
Blue-naped parrot (
Tanygnathus lucionensis), and a cloth design from the Southern Philippines.
1,000 piso Colored light-blue, the main designs on the front of the note feature two of the national symbols of the Philippines, the
Philippine eagle (
Pithecophaga jefferyi), the national bird and the clear window of Sampaguita (
Jasminum sambac), the national flower. The main designs on the back of the note feature the
Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, the South Sea Pearl (
Pinctada maxima), and a cloth design from the Mindanao design for
T'nalak (Ikat-dyed abaca). ;Note • The
Prionailurus bengalensis rabori was the former scientific name for Visayan leopard cat, and it was revised in 2017 to its new scientific name of
Prionailurus sumatranus javanensis. == Awards and Recognitions ==
