The world of Mujand (fantasy notes) - 01 c Perish Island (Novarthica)

When you take a look on the map I posted earlier (introduction to the world of Mujand), you will see a small island in front of the east coast of Novarthica.
The island discovered in 1079 MT (Mujand time

Perish Island is a small island in the Tenebris ocean and belongs to Novarthica continent.
The currency is the "coral" and the notes are also called the water notes.
The notes are part of the E-series and are numbered 31 to 37 (7 notes)
One side of the notes depict the life above water (supra aquam), the back side of each note depicts the life below water (subter aqua).
Front side of the Perish Island Coral notes
back side of the Perish Island Coral notes
The nice idea behind these notes can be seen, when two notes of the same value are placed next to each other, then the faces become complete.
Perish Island 1 Coral
Perish Island 5 Corals
Perish Island 10 Corals
Perish Island 25 Corals
Perish Island 50 Corals
Perish Island 100 Corals
Perish Island 500 Corals
Not many hidden items on the notes here, but one remarkable thing can be found at the bottom of the 'water' side:
1 coral note - detail
In the corner we find strange marks, that are different on each of the 7 notes.
The stripes and triangles are in fact Babylonian coneiform numerals, and one of the earliest ways to write down number in a logical, decimal way.
The marks are the number of the issued note : 31 - 37 of the Mujand-set.
Finally, the notes are : "valid only while Perish Island remains above water", or they are "invalid while Perish Island remains below water".
