The International Bank Note Society (IBNS) announces that its voting membership has for the first time selected the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank to receive its annual prestigious \u201cBank Note of the Year Award\u201d for 2023.\u00a0 With almost 100 new banknotes released worldwide during 2023, only 15 were deemed of sufficiently new design to be member nominated.\u00a0 From the onset of voting the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank $2 note was the overwhelming favorite.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank \u201cOscar winning banknote\u201d is intended to present the hope of a new, confident and exciting future with a colorful eye-pleasing design combining sports with an environmental motif.\u00a0 \u00a0The banknote was designed and manufactured by De La Rue in close collaboration with the ECCB. The design approach was to push the integration of the polymer substrate, print and features to deliver a truly compelling banknote leveraging combinational technologies and the Safeguard substrate design flexibility.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The front of this bright multi-colored yellow, red, blue, and purple note features local cricket star Sir Issac Vivian Alexander \u201cViv\u201d Richards, also known as \u201cThe Master Blaster\u201d as well as the 40th Anniversary bank logo, turtles, and fish.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The back of the vertically designed note combines fish, coral, turtles and a map of the islands in contrasting bright blue.\u00a0 The Central Bank chose this design as a symbol of hope to inspire greatness in the people of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union, as well as all youth and people around the world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The current exchange value of the new ECC Bank bill is approximately 0.74 USD, 0.69 Euros or 0.59 British Pounds as of the date of this announcement.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first runner-up was Peru\u2019s 200 Sol note which features painter Tilsa Tsuchiya whose work showcases Peruvian legends, folklore and myths.\u00a0 The second runner-up was Jamaica\u2019s $1000 note which features national heroes and Jamaica House.\u00a0 Rounding out the top six vote getters were South Africa\u2019s 50 Rand note (Nelson Mandela\/lions), Egypt\u2019s 50 Pound note (mosque\/Ramesses II) and Solomon Islands\u2019 (Pacific Games\/several sports).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winners of recent IBNS Banknote of the Year competitions are all miniature works of art that represent their nation\u2019s popular themes.\u00a0 These winners should help provide a superb template as other countries consider how they eventually design and promote their own new banknotes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

From all significant newly designed and widely circulated banknotes released in 2023, the IBNS membership nominated notes from 15 different countries to place on the ballot.\u00a0 Nominees represented 3 continents (Africa, Asia, and South America),\u00a0 5 island nations, and the Middle East.\u00a0 Past \u201cBank Note of the Year\u201d winners include Philippines (2022), Mexico (2021 & 2020), Aruba (2019), Canada (2018), Switzerland (2017 & 2016), New Zealand (2015), Trinidad & Tobago (2014), Kazakhstan (2013, 2012 & 2011), Uganda (2010), Bermuda (2009), Samoa (2008), Bank of Scotland (2007), Comoros (2006), Faeroe Islands (2005) and Canada (2004).<\/p>\n
