Switzerland's Darlehenskassen notes were emergency money, authorized in August 1914 as the confederation scrambled to prevent a run on gold reserves at the outbreak of war. The 2 Francs denomination sat at the lower end of the series and was intended to ease the acute shortage of small change — hoarding had stripped coins from circulation almost overnight. Orell Füssli, Zurich's principal security printer, handled the entire series, giving these wartime issues a production quality well above most European emergency paper of the same period.
By 1918, the Darlehenskassen notes were being withdrawn as regular currency stabilized. The 1915 dating places this in the second year of issue, when demand had already peaked.
