São Tomé and Príncipe's dobra was redenominated in 2010 at a rate of 1,000 old dobras to 1 new dobra, a reform tied directly to the country's monetary agreement with Portugal and the peg to the euro. This 100-dobra note entered circulation well after that transition stabilized, filling the lower-denomination slot in a series designed to reduce the confusion that had dogged the immediate post-redenomination years.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement here is unsurprising — they have handled São Tomé's notes across multiple series — but the addition of a hologram to a note of this face value is worth noting, given the island nation's historically limited annual print runs and the relatively modest purchasing power this denomination represents.
