The St. Gallische Kantonalbank was one of dozens of cantonal institutions issuing their own paper currency before the Swiss federal government consolidated note-issuing authority — a process that dragged through the 1870s and was only fully resolved with the founding of the Swiss National Bank in 1907. This note predates the Federal Banking Law of 1881, which began imposing serious constraints on cantonal circulation.
Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig handled the printing, as they did for numerous Swiss cantonal banks during this period. The firm had already built a strong reputation for security printing across German-speaking Europe by the 1860s.
