The security strip has a multicolour tone, the colours switch between a bright lime green, darker green, and blue when the note is tilted.

The note has two patches of gold iridescent ink on the reverse side. When the note is tilted you can read “RM20” on each patch:

Those iridescent ink patches absorb UV light, hence they appear dark under UV.
