The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has disclosed the new 100 Swiss Franc (CHF) banknote that will enter in the circulation from September 12 forward.

The motivation behind the structure is Switzerland's humanitarian tradition, said a SNB public statement on Tuesday. This is represented by the water and the shade of the banknote, which stays blue like the previous versions.

The CHF100 banknote is the last of the ninth series of new banknotes released by the SNB. The first of the arrangement was the CHF50 note which was released on April 2016, trailed by CHF20, CHF10, CHF200 and CHF1, 000-franc notes.

The theme of the ninth series is the “Many facets of Switzerland”, which were designed by Manuela Pfrunder and printed by Orell Füssli Security Printing. The new notes use a substrate – Durasafe – which was specially developed for the ninth series by high-security paper manufacturer Landqart.
