| Opmerkingen |
The 8th series was Switzerland's longest-running banknote family, designed by Jörg Zintzmeyer and introduced gradually from 1995 onward — but conceived and developed across the 1980s. The SNB deliberately staggered the release of individual denominations rather than issuing the full series at once, a precaution against systemic counterfeiting.
Three distinct signature pairs appear on dated 1995 and 1996 notes, reflecting simultaneous tenures at the SNB directorate. The series was not formally withdrawn until 2020, at which point the SNB — uniquely among central banks — honored no deadline for redemption, as Swiss banknotes remain exchangeable at face value indefinitely.
