Anmerkungen

Die Bank in Glarus was one of several cantonal private banks that proliferated in Switzerland before the Federal Banking Act of 1881 consolidated note-issuing authority. By the 1850s, Switzerland had over thirty such institutions, each printing its own notes with little regulatory oversight — a situation that produced chronic small-change shortages and widespread public confusion about relative note values.

Glarus is among the rarer issuing authorities in Swiss 19th-century private bank paper. The canton was small, its economy largely textile-based, and circulation of these notes would have been tightly regional. Very few examples have survived in any condition.
