| Obverse description | Blue and multicolour intaglio print on a vertical format. A large intaglio portrait of the Italian Baroque architect Francesco Borromini occupies the right half of the note, with the bold numeral '100' and a complex guilloche vignette incorporating geometric and architectural motifs to the left. The name and dates 'Francesco Borromini 1599–1667' appear as a caption beneath the guilloche, with the denominations 'Cent Francs' and 'Cento Franchi' printed vertically along the lower centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, printed in vertical format, presents a detailed architectural drawing of the interior of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza in Rome, Borromini's celebrated Baroque masterpiece, rendered in blue intaglio with fine line engraving. A perspective view of the church's distinctive spiral lantern and façade is set within an ornate guilloche border, evoking the architect's signature helical forms. Printer and bank authority inscriptions, along with the denomination in all four Swiss national languages, are arranged along the margins. |
