The Schweizerische Nationalbank issued the 10 franc banknote series in 1942. This series was introduced as part of efforts to modernize Swiss currency during World War II, following previous designs that emerged after 1930 to ensure security features and distinct design elements.
The front side of the note features a portrait and inscriptions in the country's four official languages. The back side prominently displays the denomination "5" surrounded by intricate patterns. This particular note, Pick 17, is characterized by its olive and brown color scheme, enhancing its distinct appearance compared to earlier series.
