Switzerland mobilized reserves rapidly in August 1914, and these Federal Treasury notes — distinct from National Bank issues — were authorized as emergency currency to ease the immediate liquidity crisis triggered by the outbreak of war. The Caisse Fédérale Suisse had no standing apparatus for mass note production, which is why the series was rushed out with minimal security features relative to contemporary Swiss banking paper.
Stückelberg was primarily a painter and muralist, not a professional banknote designer — his involvement reflects the ad hoc nature of the commission. The French-text variant existed alongside German and Italian versions to serve the Confederation's linguistic regions, each printed separately rather than bilingual.
The series was withdrawn quickly once the National Bank stabilized supply, leaving P#21 with a short actual circulation window.
