| Opmerkingen |
The Toggenburger Bank was a regional cantonal institution based in Lichtensteig, a small market town in the Toggenburg valley of canton St. Gallen. In 1881 Switzerland had no federal central bank — that wouldn't arrive until the Swiss National Bank's founding in 1907 — leaving note issuance to a patchwork of cantonal and private banks, each printing for their own territory and trading relationships.
Lichtensteig as both seat and print location is unusual; most Swiss regional banks of this period contracted out to established printers in Zürich or Basel. That this note was produced locally suggests either a cost decision or a deliberate assertion of institutional independence.
