The identity of four non-Ceylon images were found in 2020 Dec 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.
In 2022 Jan I found another and in 2025 November four more using Google Lens.
I am truly amazed what can be found online, and clearly improving as more Archives come online. Now after 5 years I have located 20 of 21 used.
The last one not located is the sailing ship with boat on the front of the first issued 50G note which also the only side to have a special UV image of a sailing ship.
Is this image original Frank Medina artwork?
Note that the image matches are exact with no ambiguity, except for for coloring, not just similar.

If you recognize this last 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.
