| Comments |
The Ländliche Spar- und Leihkasse Appenzell — the Rural Savings and Loan Bank of Appenzell — was one of a scattering of small cantonal cooperative credit institutions that issued their own notes during the decades before Switzerland's federal banking law progressively curtailed private note issue. The 188_ date field, left partially open at printing, places this note in the transitional period when such institutions were losing their emission rights to the Swiss National Bank's eventual predecessors.
At 200 Franken, this is a high-denomination issue for a rural cantonal lender of this size. Few examples are known to survive.
