7The Swiss Franc (Switzerland)

Switzerland’s banknotes are widely regarded as some of the most beautifully designed in the world. The latest series of Swiss francs showcases the country’s technological innovation, arts, and natural scenery. The 10-franc note, for instance, celebrates Switzerland’s contributions to timekeeping, with a vibrant yellow design and images of a clockwork mechanism.

The 50-franc note, with its lush greens, highlights Switzerland’s mountain landscapes and hiking culture. This note is especially eye-catching for its depiction of the Alps and the theme of exploration. Swiss francs are not only visually stunning but also feature complex security elements and vertical designs that add to their modern appeal.
