Development of the new banknote series
Announcement
The SNB is to begin developing the tenth banknote series. In doing so, it is ensuring that Swiss banknotes continue to meet the latest standards with regard to functionality and security over the long term.
Theme
The theme of the new banknote series is ‘Switzerland and its altitudes’. It pays homage to the country’s unique topography, from the Jura and the Central Plateau to the Alps, and depicts Switzerland from its deepest valleys to its highest peaks. The new series aims to reflect the diversity of life at the various altitudes.
