Commenti	The Bank in Zürich was one of several Swiss cantonal and private banks of issue operating before the Swiss National Bank's establishment in 1907 effectively ended their note-issuing privileges. Bradbury Wilkinson's contract work for Swiss private banks during this period was fairly common — the firm handled security printing for numerous smaller issuers who lacked domestic facilities capable of producing adequately fraud-resistant notes. The P#S608 prefix signals a private or regional issuer rather than a central authority, placing this squarely in Switzerland's fragmented pre-federal monetary period, when dozens of institutions circulated competing paper. The Bank in Zürich itself was wound down well before federation of note issue occurred.
