Has anyone else noticed the new N100 note in circulation?

Has the 2026 date and Cardoso signature but everything else looks off about it.

The font used in "One Hundred Naira" is different from the regular one

The colour is different from the regular notes.

Even the Awolowo watermark is facing the other direction.

Please can anyone from CBN confirm this note is legit?

UPDATE:

Thanks for your input, everyone.

Just seen a Nairaland thread that quotes the CBN as saying:

"For the avoidance of doubt, the CBN hereby reiterates that both the commemorative ₦100 banknote and the standard ₦100 banknote remain legal tender in Nigeria and must be accepted for all transactions nationwide. The commemorative ₦100 banknote, which was introduced to mark Nigeria's centenary, did not replace the existing standard ₦100 banknote."

You can see the full thread here:

Thanks again
