About this banknote
The Swiss National Bank issued this 20 franc banknote in 1982. This banknote belongs to a series introduced during the late 20th century to update security features and honor notable Swiss individuals. Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, an influential figure in the study of alpine geology, is depicted on the note.
The front side features de Saussure's portrait alongside intricate geometric patterns, with the denomination boldly printed. The back side displays a mountain climbers' scene with a large spiral design, reflecting alpine themes. This note, with Pick number 54, was printed by Orell Füssli Arts Graphiques S.A., Zürich.
