About this banknote
The National Bank of Belgium issued the 2000 franc banknote (Pick 151) in 1994. This note was part of the final series of Belgian franc banknotes before the adoption of the euro in 2002. The 2000 franc denomination was introduced to facilitate high-value transactions and reduce the need for multiple lower denomination notes.
The front of the banknote features a portrait of Baron Victor Horta, a prominent Belgian Art Nouveau architect, on the left side. The back showcases floral motifs and Art Nouveau designs, reflecting Horta's architectural style. The note measures 159 x 76 mm and includes a watermark of Baron Victor Horta for security. It was signed by Serge Bertholomé, Treasurer, and Alfons Verplaetse, Governor.
