Core design elements of the new banknotes
The new banknotes explore some of our country’s many facets: organisational talent, creativity, wealth of experiences, humanitarian tradition, scientific expertise and communicative flair.
These *six* sides are exemplified in an array of design elements.
Some images recur on all of the notes; these are the core design elements of the new banknote series.
Hand

Location

Together, the six notes reflect the diversity of our country, which is known for its organisational prowess, for its vibrant cultural scene, for the wealth of experiences it offers, as well as for its humanitarian tradition and its track record as a research hub and place of dialogue.
Object
Each note depicts an object related to the relevant key motif.
