100 Dollars BRB Banknote (2016+ Polymer / Modern Issue) 2013-2018

100 Dollars Dollar (Issued 2013-2018)

Estimates suggest that relatively few examples of this Barbadian one-hundred-dollar note in pristine, uncirculated condition have been preserved outside of active circulation, given that high-denomination notes of this era were put to regular transactional use across the island. The note’s association with Sir Grantley Adams — one of the most consequential political figures in Caribbean history — lends it a significance that extends well beyond its face value. Issued across the 2013 to 2018 period and representing the Central Bank of Barbados’s transition toward modern security printing, it occupies a notable place in the documentary record of Barbadian monetary history. Both currency researchers and those with a general interest in Caribbean political heritage have shown sustained interest in well-preserved examples.

On the front, the dominant feature is a finely engraved portrait of Right Excellent Sir Grantley Adams, the first and only Prime Minister of the West Indies Federation and a foundational figure of Barbadian political life, positioned to the right of the note and rendered with considerable intaglio detail in deep blue and grey tones. His name is printed in small, clear text above the portrait, reading “Right Excellent Sir Grantley Adams.” To the left, the issuing authority is prominently declared in bold typography as “Central Bank of Barbados,” set beneath the national coat of arms, which features two figures flanking a shield surmounted by an arm holding a sugar cane stalk. The legal tender inscription reads “These notes are legal tender for the payment of any amount.” The denomination is expressed in elegant serif lettering at the centre as “One Hundred Dollars,” with the word “Barbados” printed beneath the bank name. The note carries a date of 2 May 2013 alongside the Governor’s signature, printed in ink below. The serial number E29509914 appears twice — once in the lower left and again to the right of centre — printed in dark ink against the light ground. A three-pronged trident, the national symbol of Barbados, appears in violet to the lower left alongside a series of small coloured dots indicative of security printing. The background is composed of sweeping guilloché wave patterns in blue, teal, and pale purple, creating a layered optical effect across the entire field. A cluster of repeated microprint denomination numerals — “100” — appears in the lower right corner as an additional security device, alongside a further intaglio-printed “$100” in the bottom right.

The reverse features a detailed architectural depiction of Grantley Adams International Airport in Christ Church, Barbados, rendered in fine line engraving across the central portion of the note. The building’s modern glass and steel terminal facade is clearly depicted, with the caption “Grantley Adams International Airport, Christ Church” printed in small text at the lower left. The background continues the sweeping wave guilloché motif seen on the front, rendered in cool blues and soft grey-greens, with circular and linear geometric patterning creating depth across the full field. To the upper left, the denomination “$100” is printed in large, bold numerals in dark ink, while to the upper right a further “$100” denomination marker is clearly visible. The “Central Bank of Barbados” name and the trident symbol appear centrally near the top of the reverse. The denomination is restated in serif text as “One Hundred Dollars” to the lower right. Fine latent imagery and guilloché rosettes are discernible within the tonal background, contributing to the note’s layered security architecture.
