Delve into the Swiss Franc
The sophistication of the Swiss currency
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the James Bond of currencies—sleek, reliable, and always in demand.
Introduced in the 19th century, this iconic currency replaced Switzerland's chaotic mix of over 860 coins to unify the country’s financial system. Known for its stability and innovation, the Swiss Franc is a global powerhouse.
Today’s CHF notes and coins are marvels of design and security, blending cultural heritage with cutting-edge technology.
