It is a clear (transparent) section of polymer banknotes on which some elements can be added, for instance, an embossed number.
In the clear window of the F-type 20- and 50-peso banknotes as well as in the lower window of the currently designed F1-type 50-peso banknote, you can see the number of the denomination in lines. The clear window of the 100-peso banknote commemorating the Mexican Revolution shows the kernels of a corn cob. In the clear window of the 20-peso banknote commemorating the Bicentennial of Mexico’s Independence, the number 20 can be seen in the center along with a texture of lines across the entire width of the banknote with two dots on each end, while the G-type 50-peso banknote shows the number 50 and a texture of five dots forming a half circle; and in the G-type 100-peso banknote, the number is on top of the vertical lines. These features are embossed on the window and therefore are perceptible by touch.
The clear windows are manufactured directly onto the polymer substrate.
