In this article we will take a closer look at the penultimate question for participants in the second part of today's game show. A full review of the game can be viewed by following the link above.

What title did the 50 Swiss franc note receive in 2016?

The correct answer is traditionally highlighted in blue and italics. It should be noted that our players took a lot of time to answer the question; they could not decide. After taking the "50:50" clue, players have two left possible options answer: the most beautiful or the most durable. Personally, I was inclined to answer: the most durable, but this is the wrong answer.

In the spring of 2016, it was released into mass circulation new banknote denomination of 50 Swiss francs. Now, a year later, she can boast not only national but also international recognition!
The International Bank Note Society named the 50 franc the most beautiful banknote in the world in 2016. Let us remind you that since 2005, the International Banknote Society annually determines the most beautiful banknote in the world.

Designed by Swiss artist and designer Manuela Pfrunder, the banknote is the result of a 10-year development process full of setbacks and technical hiccups. After all, these banknotes have very advanced protection against counterfeiting. The banknote is made according to the principle of a layer cake. Between two layers of special paper, a special transparent plastic layer will be built in, which is believed to make it very difficult for counterfeiters to work.

the most secure
the most beautiful

The International Bank Note Society (IBNS) has chosen the updated 50 Swiss franc note as the best banknote of 2016. This was not an easy task, because over the past year almost 120 new banknotes were issued around the world.

The design of the 50-franc “assignt” was changed for the first time in 20 years. When creating the banknote, we used the latest tools protection. The image is aligned vertically. The idea is based on two components - wind and national experience. On one side there is a hand with a white dandelion, on the other there is a man flying on a paraglider in the mountains.

Amount of 50 Swiss francs current rate equivalent to approximately the same amount of US dollars.

Second place was shared by several banknotes from the Maldives and Argentina:

The 1,000 Maldivian Rufiyaa note features a sea turtle on one side and a whale shark on the other.

New 500 Argentine pesos decorated with leopard and nature elements.

Also among the winners was the £5 note issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland, which features the image of Scottish novelist and poet Nan Shepherd.

The International Banknote Society is an independent union of banknote collectors that every year selects the best banknote of the year by online voting on its website.

A contender for a high title must either have innovative protection against counterfeiters, or be a real work of art - in the latter case, it is the artistic value of the banknote that is assessed. Another important condition is that the banknote must be in circulation.

This non-profit educational organization studies banknotes and paper money from around the world. The members of the union are experts from more than 90 countries.
