100 Trinidad And Tobago Dollars Banknote (Polymer 2019 Series)

100 Dollars Dollar (Issued 2019)

When Trinidad and Tobago’s Central Bank launched this polymer note in 2019, it marked a definitive break from decades of paper currency production, bringing the island nation’s highest-denomination banknote into the modern era of plastic substrate printing. The shift reflected broader regional momentum towards more durable, harder-to-counterfeit currency across the Caribbean. Polymer technology had already transformed banknote production in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and Trinidad and Tobago’s adoption of it for the 100 Dollar note signalled a commitment to both security and longevity. The result is a note that is simultaneously a practical monetary instrument and a showcase of contemporary intaglio and offset printing on a transparent polymer base.

On the front, the note is rendered predominantly in a rich spectrum of blue tones, ranging from deep cobalt on the left-hand security elements to lighter, almost icy blues across the central field, giving the composition a crisp and modern feel entirely suited to the polymer medium. The left side of the note is dominated by a large, finely detailed depiction of a scarlet ibis in flight — the national bird of Trinidad and Tobago — rendered with considerable precision, its outstretched wings capturing a sense of dynamic movement against a background of subtle guilloché patterning. Immediately to the right of the bird, the national coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago is prominently displayed, showing the heraldic shield supported by two hummingbirds, with the national motto “Together We Aspire, Together We Achieve” inscribed on the ribbon beneath. Above the coat of arms, the issuing authority is identified in clear, bold serif typography reading “CENTRAL BANK OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.” The serial number “AA343178” appears twice — once vertically along the left margin in a serif font, and again horizontally towards the lower right in a larger, bolder format, consistent with the dual-serial number convention used on many polymer issues. In the upper-right corner, a boldly printed national flag of Trinidad and Tobago is visible in full colour — the distinctive red, black, and white diagonal stripe design rendered with particular clarity, providing one of the few multicoloured accents on an otherwise blue-dominant face. The large numeral “100” dominates the right-hand portion of the note in bold, three-dimensional-style numerals, printed in a deep blue. A Governor’s signature appears beneath the denomination numeral, accompanied by the title “GOVERNOR.” Along the lower edge, the words “ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS” are printed in a clean, capitalised serif typeface. A small text line in the lower centre references the Central Bank Act, and the series designation “SERIES 2019” is included. In the upper-left corner, a security window incorporating an optically variable device is visible, showing the denomination “100” and exhibiting colour-shifting and reflective properties characteristic of modern polymer note security features. The transparent polymer substrate itself creates natural window effects, and the background is layered with fine-line guilloché rosettes and geometric mesh patterns throughout.

The reverse continues the blue colour palette, with the composition divided between two principal architectural and industrial subjects. On the left-centre of the reverse, a tall modern tower building — identifiable as the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago’s headquarters in Port of Spain — is depicted in precise, engraved-style linework, rising prominently against a background of diagonal blue geometric patterns and wave-like guilloché designs. The building is rendered with careful attention to its vertical grid-fenestration and angular modern form. To the right of the building, a large offshore oil and gas platform is illustrated with considerable technical detail, its drilling rig structure, cranes, and platform deck clearly delineated, representing the petroleum industry that underpins Trinidad and Tobago’s economy. The words “CENTRAL BANK OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO” are printed in the upper centre of the reverse in bold capitals. The large numeral “100” again appears centrally in bold blue typography, with “ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS” printed beneath it in matching serif capitals. A smaller “100” appears in the lower-right corner. In the upper-right corner, a security feature window — likely a holographic or optically variable element — displays “100” alongside additional security text, serving as a counterpart to the front-face security strip. The background across the full reverse field is filled with layered diagonal lines, fine guilloché mesh, and wave patterns that add both aesthetic texture and anti-counterfeiting complexity to the note.
