Following the release of the 50-franc banknote in 2016, the Swiss National Bank introduced the new 20-franc banknote into circulation on Wednesday, 17th May 2017. The banknotes flaunt innovation in both their design and 15 security features - the 50 even received the 'Banknote Design of the Year' award - promising an impressive ode to Switzerland's history as well as its future.
The artist, Manuela Pfrunder, a Swiss graphic designer, produced the mesmerising collection having been inspired by 'The Many Facets of Switzerland'. Each note captures a national characteristic; The 50-franc note in its groovy green glory features a globe, a hand, a paraglider and multiple wind motifs collectively representing the nation's 'wealth of knowledge'.Â
