| Beschrijving keerzijde | Executed entirely in violet-grey intaglio and engine-turned guilloche work, the reverse presents a large central oval cartouche with the bold numeral 40 set within densely interlaced lathe-work patterns and a circular trilingual bank-name legend. A Swiss cross within an oval guilloche frame occupies the top centre, while the four corners each carry the denomination numeral 40 within elaborate rosette and fan-pattern guilloche panels. No pictorial vignette is present; the entire field is filled with intricate underprint geometry. |

Switzerland declared mobilization on 1 August 1914, the same day Germany declared war on Russia. The Nationalbank had prepared a reserve series precisely for this contingency — notes held back from normal circulation and released only under conditions of monetary stress. The 40 Franc denomination itself is a curiosity: Switzerland used it in no other peacetime series, and its existence reflects specific calculations about what denominations a wartime economy would actually need.
Pick 13 is scarce in any grade. Reserve issues were never released in quantity, and surviving examples often show storage folds rather than circulation wear — a different kind of use-history entirely.
