From where I've traveled, the Swedish ones looked the prettiest.

Cool thread, will add some pics later

By the way the South African ones look very nice with animal pictures on them.

Let me start with the Czech Rep. which still has some very nice ones which are still in circulation as they did not introduce € till now (a wise decision)



Ema Destinnová - was a Czech operatic soprano with a strong and soaring lyric-dramatic voice



František Palacký - was a Czech historian and politician, the most influential person of the Czech National Revival, called "Father of the Nation".

Backside: Eagle spread its wings over the Archbishop’s Castle in Kroměříž, where a constitution preparig parliament of Austrian Empire was held in 1848



Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk - was an Austrian-Czech politician, sociologist and philosopher, who as an eager advocate of Czechoslovak independence during World War I became the founder and first President of Czechoslovakia. He originally wished to reform the Austro-Hungarian monarchy into a democratic federal state, but during the First World War he began to favour the abolition of the monarchy and, with the help of the Allied Powers, eventually succeeded

Backside: Gothic and Baroque buildings in Prague, in centre dominating St. Vitus Cathedral

My fav

Main motifs on the obverse: Portrait of Nadežda Petrovic, distinguished painter, sculpture featuring the artist, detail: painer's brush
Main motifs on the reverse: Silhouette of the Gracanica Monastery - a major inspiration in Nadežda's works, large coat of arms of the Republic of Serbia against blue background in the left-hand side of the banknote


This is the first time a woman of prominence was featured on a Serbian banknote.
