100 Piso PHL Banknote (Standard Issue) 2024

100 Piso Peso (Issued 2024)

As a current-issue polymer banknote introduced in 2024, the 100 Piso note is actively circulating throughout the Philippines, meaning well-preserved examples in everyday use are plentiful, though earlier print runs of this new polymer series are already attracting attention from those documenting the transition to plastic substrate currency. The 2024 issue marks a significant modernisation of Philippine paper currency, replacing cotton-paper predecessors with a durable polymer format that incorporates a new visual identity centred on native wildlife and natural landmarks. Currency researchers and exchange specialists alike have taken note of this redesigned series as it represents the current benchmark of Philippine monetary design and security technology.

On the front, the dominant central image is a large, finely detailed depiction of a Philippine Eagle-Owl — a native bird rendered with striking naturalistic precision, its plumage shown in deep blue, black, and silver tones against a lighter background, conveying a sense of iridescent depth typical of high-quality intaglio-style polymer printing. The bird stands in profile facing left, occupying the majority of the central field. The background of the note transitions across a palette of violet, purple, and pale lavender, with subtle guilloché wave patterns visible across the lower register. At the upper portion of the note, the issuing authority name “REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS” is printed prominently in bold serif capitals, with a secondary line of smaller text beneath it in Latin script carrying the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ official mandate text. A patriotic motto in Latin script runs across the upper-mid section of the note. The serial number “AA7227714” appears twice — once in the upper right area and again in the lower left — printed in a dark ink with variable-size numerals characteristic of modern security typography. To the right of the central bird image, a clear polymer window panel is visible, incorporating an ornate security element featuring a stylised floral or rosette motif in black, which serves as both an optically variable device and a transparency feature inherent to polymer substrate notes. Below this window, a circular emblem in dark ink — appearing to be a seal or official badge of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas — is printed with fine line engraving. Two facsimile signatures appear beneath the central image: one attributed to “FERDINAND R. MARCOS JR., Pangulo ng Pilipinas” (President of the Philippines) and another to “ELI M. REMOLONA JR., Gobernador ng Bangko Sentral” (Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas), both rendered in flowing cursive script above their respective printed name-and-title captions. The year “2024” is clearly printed in the lower left corner. The denomination “100” appears in large numerals in the lower right, with the word “SANDAANG PISO” — the Filipino-language denomination — printed in bold capitals along the lower edge.

The reverse presents a richly composed landscape in coordinated violet and purple tones. The upper-left corner carries a detailed oval vignette of the official seal of the Philippines, rendered with fine line engraving in dark ink on a circular disc with intricate patterning, surrounded by text in Latin script identifying the Republic. Immediately below this sits a second circular emblem, identified as the seal of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, similarly engraved. The central field of the reverse is dominated by a large topographic depiction of Mayon Volcano, whose near-perfect conical form rises dramatically against the upper right of the note, rendered in deep violet intaglio with fine shading conveying the volcano’s steep slopes. The text “Mayon Volcano” is printed in an elegant italic script above and to the left of the volcanic image. Overlaid across the lower-centre of the reverse is a large, naturalistic illustration of a Whale Shark, printed in a blue-grey tone with characteristic spot patterning, identified by a caption in small Latin-script text reading “Whale Shark” with an additional descriptor line beneath it. To the left of the whale shark, an outline map of the Philippine archipelago is printed as a pale watermark-style geographic image. Along the far right edge, a vertical band of fine geometric lattice or crosshatch patterning runs the full height of the note, providing additional visual security detail. The denomination “SANDAANG PISO” is printed again in bold dark capitals in the lower-right area of the reverse, and the stylised black rosette window element — visible from the front — is repeated here as a transparent polymer feature in the upper-right quadrant.
