The 9th series was the first Swiss issue printed on Durasafe, a hybrid substrate developed by Landqart combining a polymer core with paper outer layers — it behaves like paper in the hand but resists tearing and moisture far better. Switzerland adopted it partly in response to counterfeiting pressure on the 8th series, which had run from 1995 and was increasingly targeted by mid-quality reproduction attempts by the 2010s.
Manuela Pfrunder's design commission was deliberately open-ended; the SNB moved away from portrait-based iconography entirely for this series, an unusual choice among European central banks. The 200-franc denomination is the highest-value note in regular Swiss circulation.
