| Opmerkingen |
The Bank in St. Gallen was one of Switzerland's numerous cantonal and private note-issuing institutions operating before the Swiss National Bank's monopoly — a consolidation that didn't arrive until 1907. This 1000-franc note sits at the very high end of the denomination range these regional banks typically issued, and high-value notes of this type circulated primarily between merchants and institutions rather than passing through ordinary retail trade.
Dondorf & Naumann of Frankfurt were accomplished commercial engravers with a broad portfolio across European banking clients. Their selection by a Swiss regional bank reflects the common pre-SNB practice of outsourcing security printing to established German houses rather than domestic printers.
