The identity of four non-Ceylon images were found using a Google Image Search, of a digital cutout from the fantasy note. The process found 2 additional Ceylon images. Three more images were found using TinEye Reverse Image Search, which appears to save some images which are no-longer online. Google image search finds only similar images while TinEye tries to find an exact match to even a part of an image.
About a year later I found another using Google Lens. I am truly amazed what can be found online, but not always. Could locate only 16 of 21 used. Of the five more to locate 2 are on the front of the first issued 50G note which also the only side to have a special UV image. There is one each, still not recognized on the other 3 notes. Are these 5 images original Frank Medina artwork? It is like an image puzzle still incomplete. Note that the image matches are exact with no ambiguity, except for coloring, not just similar.

If you recognize any of the Original Image Not Located Online, which maybe engravings from old books on Ceylon, India, or Netherlands Please Email me the reference at kavanr @ gmail.com Thanks.
