Opmerkingen

The Bank in Luzern was one of the Swiss cantonal and private note-issuing institutions that operated before the Swiss National Bank's founding in 1907 centralized currency authority. Bradbury Wilkinson, the London engravers responsible for this note, were among the premier security printers of the period, producing issues for dozens of smaller banking authorities across Europe who lacked domestic printing capacity of sufficient quality.

At 500 Francs, this is a high-denomination commercial instrument — not a note that moved through ordinary retail trade. Private Swiss banks of this period issued large notes primarily for interbank settlement and merchant use. Survivors at this denomination are rare by attrition alone.
