About this banknote
The Swiss National Bank issued this 100 franc banknote series in 1984. This series was part of the effort to update and enhance the security features of Swiss currency. It continued to circulate until newer designs replaced it, but the introduction was aimed at maintaining the integrity of the Swiss franc against counterfeiting.
The front side of the banknote features a portrait of the architect Francesco Borromini. The back side showcases architectural elements depicted in a blue and purple color scheme. Design elements also include intricate patterns and the bank's name in multiple languages. This note is identified by Pick number 56 and was printed by Orell Füssli Arts Graphiques S.A., Zürich.
