| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a central oval vignette in green intaglio-style print, portraying two women engaged in traditional grain pounding with mortars and pestles, set before thatched huts and a cultivated field receding into a distant hillside. The denomination '100 000 000' is printed in dark green at the upper left and lower right corners against a salmon-pink guilloche background with a wave-pattern border element at the left margin. |

By mid-2008, Zimbabwe's month-on-month inflation had exceeded 11,000,000%, and the Reserve Bank had lost the capacity to issue notes fast enough to be useful. The "bearer cheque" format — technically a negotiable instrument rather than a banknote — was a legal workaround that allowed Fidelity Printers to push denominations into the hundreds of millions without formally restructuring the currency. It bought weeks, not months.
This 100,000,000-dollar instrument was obsolete almost immediately upon issue. The August 2008 redenomination slashed ten zeros from the currency, rendering the entire bearer cheque series worthless overnight.
