Swiss 50 Franc Banknote

The image showcases the front side of a Swiss 50 Franc banknote from the ninth series issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB). This series, designed by Manuela Pfrunder, focuses on the theme of 'The many facets of Switzerland.' The 50-franc note specifically highlights the element of wind and Switzerland's wealth of experiences.

The note features a dandelion, with its seeds being blown by the wind, and a hand holding a prism. The globe shown illustrates wind currents circulating around the world. These banknotes are printed by Orell Füssli Security Printing Ltd in Zurich using a Durasafe substrate, which is a composite of two layers of paper and a transparent polymer core, providing high levels of security and durability against counterfeiting.
