100 Piso PHL Banknote (Standard Issue) 2023-2025

100 Piso Peso (Issued 2023-2025)

The Philippine economy, among the most dynamic in Southeast Asia, has long relied on a combination of overseas remittances, agricultural exports, electronics manufacturing, and a growing services sector to sustain its population of over 110 million people. The 100 Piso banknote circulates as one of the most frequently handled denominations in everyday Filipino commerce, facilitating transactions in markets, transport networks, and retail trade from Luzon to Mindanao. Introduced during the 2023 to 2025 issue period, this note reflects the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’s continued commitment to producing secure, durable currency befitting the nation’s modern economic standing. Its violet and purple colour palette sets it apart immediately within the Philippine banknote series.

On the front, the central portrait is that of Manuel A. Roxas, the first President of the Third Republic of the Philippines, rendered in fine intaglio engraving that imparts a distinctly raised texture to the printed surface. His face is positioned to the left of centre, depicted with formal gravitas against a background of subtle guilloché patterning in layered shades of violet and lilac. The heading “REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS” is printed prominently across the top of the note in bold serif typography, with a secondary line of smaller text running beneath it in Latin script referencing the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. To the upper right, a circular seal of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas appears in a deeper violet tone, detailed with intricate fine-line engraving. The serial number “CU888888” appears twice on the face of the note — once in the upper right and once in the lower left — printed in a contrasting dark ink against the lighter background. The year “2023” is printed to the lower left of the portrait. Two facsimile signatures appear below the portrait, identified by printed titles: one attributed to the Kalihim ng Pananalapi, and the other to the Gobernador ng Bangko Sentral, the latter appearing to read Felipe M. Medalla. The large denomination numeral “100” is positioned prominently to the upper left, and the words “SANDAANG PISO” appear in bold across the lower right portion of the note. A reference to the “CENTRAL BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES 1949” and “INAUGURATION OF THE THIRD REPUBLIC, 4 JULY 1946” appear in small text in the lower register, contextualising the historical significance of the portrait subject. A vertical security strip is embedded within the paper and is visible running through the right-of-centre area of the note, shifting in appearance under different lighting conditions.

The reverse of the note is dominated by a detailed intaglio rendering of Mayon Volcano, one of the Philippines’ most iconic natural landmarks, depicted in deep violet and blue-grey tones that capture the volcano’s near-perfect conical profile rising dramatically above a foreground landscape. The name “Mayon Volcano” is printed in elegant italic script directly above the mountain’s peak. To the left of the central vignette, an outline map of the Philippine archipelago is printed in light tones, stretching from the northern islands southward, conveying the geographic breadth of the nation. In the lower foreground of the reverse, small illustrated figures of a Whale Shark and a Rhincodon typus label — referencing the butanding, the Philippines’ beloved whale shark — appear with small caption text identifying the species. The denomination “100” is printed to the upper left in a matching violet tone, and the words “SANDAANG PISO” appear in bold along the lower edge of the reverse. To the far right, a vertical band of intricate geometric and traditional weave-pattern design elements is printed in darker violet, incorporating the numeral “100” in a latent image orientation-shift feature visible at an angle. The overall reverse palette transitions from pale lavender on the left through mid violet to deeper purple on the right, providing both aesthetic coherence and a built-in visual security gradient.
