100-krone banknote

100-krone banknote 1972A

Format 150 x 78 mm.

The 100-krone banknote was issued on 22 October 1974 and has been withdrawn since 16 October 1995. A revised version was issued on 16 October 1995 (the 1972A series) and has been withdrawn since 22 November 1999. Only the 100-krone banknote in the 1972 series was issued in a revised version, called the 1972A series, in order to enhance protection against counterfeiting. At that time, Danmarks Nationalbank had started using a new banknote printing press with improved printing technology, making it possible to add new, enhanced security features to the banknote. These new security features included microprint, a partly visible metallic security thread and strong colours (the diamond pattern on the banknote). The portrait on the face of the banknote is a self-portrait of Jens Juel, painted in Dresden in 1773/74, when he was around 28 years old. The original painting is in the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark. The same portrait is found in the watermark on this banknote and on the 10-, 50- and 500-krone banknotes in the series.
The Red Underwing moth on the reverse was reproduced from a watercolour by Ib Andersen (1907-1969).

The portrait on the face of the banknote is presumed to be of a noble lady from Holstein, Franziska Genoveva von Qualen, née d'Abbestée, painted by Jens Juel (1745-1802). The original painting is in the collection of the museum at Ahrensburg in Holstein, Germany. The lizard on the reverse was reproduced from a drawing by the illustrator and architect Ib Andersen (1907-1969).

The original painting is in the collection of the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle.
The squirrel on the reverse was reproduced from a watercolour and pencil drawing by the illustrator and architect Ib Andersen (1907-1969).
