The world of Mujand (fantasy notes) - 02 a : Lia Antootica (Antootica)

I have shown in previous posts, some fantasy notes of the North Western Continent, i.e. Mujand Republic and Evshlohogi Islands.
Todays post is about a second continent : Antootica, with only one territory: Lia Antootica.
Lia Antootica, the only territory on Antootica
On Lia Antootica, the currency is the Sivar, and the notes come in 5, 10, 25 and 50 (notes 076 to 079), and known as serie M (2017).
On the front side, each note bares the image of a famous pirate captain
Kapitány Vérzes Rogny (5) - Kapitány Meg Valtó (10) - Kapitány Vrad Horog (25) and Kapitány Tinó Zavalos (50).
Lia Antootica notes (front)
at the back side, some dramatic scenes of the pirate's life is shown.
Lia Antootica notes (back)
So far the 'notes' as the appear to most people.
However, having a closer look, made me discover more than expected.
Signatures on Lia Antootica notes
Where the signature is placed, we find "Elnök and Kincstárnok" - or "President and Treasurer" in Hungarian.
A nemzet aranya arany tartalék...
Around the denomination, the lines 'A nemzet aranya arany tartalék' is written... which means 'the gold of the nation, the gold reserve' ... in Hungarian.
Kalózkodás Bank
Behind the word Lia Antootica, we see a map of the island.
Underneath, 'Kalózkodás Bank' is written .... or Hungarian for 'Piracy Bank'

And yet the fun is not over ...

At the back, the text 'a lia antootica kormány értékek a pénznemben, és ez így lesz', which stands for: the government of Lia Antootica values this currency and will (promises to) do so.
a lia antootica kormány értékek a pénznemben, és ez így lesz
In the corner of the 4 notes, we see some information on the people depicted in the front :'a csont kollektor' (the bone collector), 'a jó kalóz (the good pirate)', 'a noothic kalóz' (the gentle pirate) and 'a vandór' (the wanderer).
the 4 pirate's nick names on the corners
And also the ships have names :
a sárkány szeme : the dragon's eye
detail 5 sivar
a szent kard : the holy sword
10 sivar
 a fekete szellem : the black ghost
25 sivar
a kõdõs tùz : the rotten fire
50 sivar
It's like discovering a pirate's treasure ... by the way, 'sivár' means bleak (in Hungarian).
The final easter egg, or hidden joke can be found on the front side, above 'Lia Antootica', where we find the word 'Visszaváltható' and 'Svr = eg¹²' ... "returnable/exchangable + Sivar and foreign currency.

Anyone who finds more hidden references, can contact me.
