About this banknote
**About this banknote:**
The Banque du Royaume du Burundi issued the 100 franc banknote in 1965. This note was introduced as part of Burundi's early currency series following its independence in 1962. It was a period marked by the country's transition to a national currency system, establishing an identity distinct from the colonial past.
The front side of the note features an unidentified portrait alongside architectural elements, with signatures from Eric Manirakiza as Vice President and Gerard Cornu as President. The back displays the national coat of arms with the motto "GANZA SABWA." Designated as Pick number 12, this note measures 150 x 70 mm and is distinguished by its blue print with multicolour underprint.
