Switzerland's Federal Treasury — not the Swiss National Bank — issued this note as a wartime emergency measure in August 1914, days after general mobilization was declared. The SNB lacked the statutory authority to issue small denominations quickly enough, so the Confederation stepped in directly. These Kassenscheine were a stopgap, never intended for long-term circulation.
Stückelberg was a Basel painter of considerable reputation, better known for monumental historical canvases than banknote work. His involvement here was part of a broader pre-war commissioning effort to produce notes with genuine artistic credentials rather than purely commercial engraving.
The German-language version is one of three parallel issues — French and Italian texts were printed simultaneously to serve Switzerland's linguistic regions.
