| Opmerkingen |
Bank in St. Gallen was one of Switzerland's earliest cantonal banks, and this 1837 note is among the more geographically improbable artifacts in Swiss paper money — printed in the United States by Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co., the Philadelphia and New York security firm that also engraved early American bank notes and postal currency. Swiss institutions occasionally contracted American printers during this period precisely because domestic facilities could not yet match the anti-counterfeiting sophistication of the intaglio work coming out of northeastern U.S. shops.
Draper, Toppan, Longacre dissolved and reorganized in the 1850s, eventually folding into what became the American Bank Note Company.
