| Opmerkingen |
The Deposito-Cassa der Stadt Bern occupied an unusual institutional position — it was a municipal deposit institution, not a chartered bank of issue in any conventional sense, which makes this note's very existence something of an administrative anomaly. The denomination itself signals the problem it was solving: the "100 französische Fünf-Franken-Thaler" is a unit of account built around the French five-franc coin, reflecting how thoroughly French silver had penetrated Swiss commercial life in the years following the Napoleonic reorganization of the Helvetic territories.
Switzerland had no unified currency until 1850. Before the Federal Coinage Act, each canton improvised, and Bern's recourse to a French coin-based denomination was entirely practical.
