Before 1798, over 860 currencies circulated in various denominations and monetary systems in Switzerland. Most of these coins originated from the French livre tournois or the southern German gulden of the 17th century.
The new Swiss currencies emerged in the 18th century after the Swiss cantons did not keep up with the depreciation rate in France and Germany.
The Helvetic Republic introduced the franc in 1798, minted until 1803; this issue served as a model for the coins of several cantons during the Mediation period (1803-1814).
Despite the arrival of the first Swiss franc, the southern German kronenthaler became the most popular currency in the nineteenth century.
To address this issue, the Swiss Federal Constitution of 1848 stipulated that the federal government would be the sole body entitled to issue currency in the country.
The first Federal Monetary Law, passed in 1850, established the franc as the monetary unit of Switzerland two years later.
In 1850 introduced coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5,10, and 20 centimes, ½ franc, 1 to 5 francs.
Since 2004, the 20 cent coins from 1881-1938 have been withdrawn from circulation because the machines do not detect them.
Currently, coins are circulating in denominations of 5 centimes, 10 centimes, 20 centimes, ½ franc, 1 franc, 2 francs, and also 5 francs.
The Swiss franc is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The currency code for Francs is CHF, and the currency symbol is CHF.
