Vorderseitenbeschreibung	Blue-grey tinted note with an overall guilloche underprint. Two lateral vignettes frame the central text field: the left vignette shows an Alpine landscape with a chalet and cattle, while the right vignette depicts a mountain scene with a bear, referencing the canton's heraldic symbol. The canton arms appear in an ornamental cartouche at the top centre, flanked by the denomination numeral 100 in decorative panels at each corner. The issuing bank's name and the value inscription in Gothic script occupy the central field, with the date and three signature lines for the Präsident, Director, and Standesbuchhalter below.

Anmerkungen	Graubündner Kantonalbank was one of the later Swiss cantonal banks to enter note issuance, and its 1878 series reflected a regional economy still heavily dependent on Alpine transit trade and seasonal agricultural cycles rather than industrial banking. The Swiss Federal Banking Act of 1881 would eventually curtail cantonal note-issuing privileges, making this series among the last produced before federal oversight reshaped the entire Swiss paper currency system. Survivors are rare. Graubünden's small population and limited commercial reach meant total print runs for high-denomination notes were modest, and redemption following federal consolidation was thorough.
