| Obverse description | Central vignette of Albert Einstein (1879–1955) at left, accompanied by a curve graph and mathematical calculations as underprint elements, with the Newark skyline rendered across the lower register. The state motto appears within the design, and an eagle hologram is incorporated as a security-style embellishment. The note bears the inscription THIS NOTE IS NOT LEGAL TENDER, identifying it unambiguously as a fantasy piece within a commemorative State Series. |

New Jersey's name appears on U.S. currency only in the context of Federal Reserve Bank district notes — this is a Philadelphia District issue, since the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia serves New Jersey, Delaware, and most of Pennsylvania. The 2022 series continued the redesigned $100 format first introduced with the 2009A series, which had been in planning since the late 1990s before counterfeit concerns repeatedly delayed release until October 2013.
The blue 3-D Security Ribbon — often miscalled a hologram strip — is woven into the paper itself, not applied to the surface. It took the Bureau of Engraving and Printing over a decade to bring that feature to production scale.
