It looks like nobody has reported this instead of the previous record (E028H4):

E028H5 ED319 (CL) - ErGo

[ErGo]

Updated on 01.01.2026

There was no new combination for the Europa-notes last year, but there were 5 higher shortcode records.

And here the new shortcode records by printer:
ES1: ---
ES2: E028H5, F006I6, S064H1, U062F4 and W016I6

Changes since last update are marked with red color.

If you find a shortcode (not serialnumber!) higher than the ones on this list, please post the following information in this thread:

• New (full) shortcode
• Value of note
• Countrycode with first 3! significant numbers of serial number (if you had no idea which one, take a look in the list stated below. A quotation mark means that the information is missing)
• Signature of the ECB president: WD, JCT, MD, CD

If you take part in this topic for the first time, please try to have the note already in your hand if you reported it here. If you only find records in your NIG-statistics (especially with old or not yet existing combinations) its a maximum likelihood that its only a typo.

Hello ErGo, thanks for the update

I found one thing: S064H1 Code is in the detailed (printer letters) list, but not in the summary list, nor in the table:

S064H1/SM832 changed at a stall in 14055 Berlin.

Happy New Year!
