The jury of the annual competition, which is held by the International Banknote Society, awarded the title of "Best Banknote of the Year" to a 10 Swiss franc note. Not only is it stunningly beautiful (it depicts hands with a conductor's baton, the globe and Swiss roads), but it is also equipped with the latest protection standards.
Switzerland takes the first place for the second year in a row. Last year, the 50-franc note was the best.
A total of 170 banknotes issued in 2017 participated in the competition.
100 Norwegian crowns also made it to the final of the competition.
