| Opmerkingen |
The Bank in Basel was one of several Swiss cantonal and private banks issuing their own notes before the Federal Law of 1881 consolidated Swiss paper currency under federal control. This 500 Frankenthaler note belongs to that pre-unification period when denominations, exchange rates, and accepting merchants varied by canton — a 500-unit note from Basel carried no guaranteed acceptance in Bern or Zürich without negotiation.
The Frankenthaler itself was a Basel-specific unit, not a pan-Swiss denomination, which limits the natural circulation geography of this note considerably. High-value private bank notes of this period were primarily instruments of commercial settlement, not daily trade.
