100 Quetzales

The Q100 sits at the top of the Guatemalan note series and has historically seen limited street circulation — high-denomination quetzales have long been used primarily for interbank transfers and large commercial transactions, meaning worn examples are genuinely uncommon despite substantial print runs.

BA International, the successor identity of British American Bank Note Company, held Guatemalan printing contracts across multiple decades. By 1998 the firm was already in a slow institutional decline, eventually absorbed and wound down by 2012.
