Switzerland (1954-1976)

This serie of banknotes belongs to the period after the war, conflict in which Switzerland was neutral. But in these years there are numerous social advances such as women's suffrage (1971) or the system of the three pillars (1972) and the economy continues to prosper (despite the oil crisis of 1973). Internationally, the country continues to maintain its policy of neutrality, although it joins the European Free Trade Agreement (EFTA, 1960) and the Council of Europe (1963). In this period the French-speaking districts of Bern are seceded, creating the canton of Jura, approved definitively in 1978. There are banknotes of 10 Swiss francs, 20 Swiss francs, 50 Swiss francs, 100 Swiss francs, 500 Swiss francs and 1,000 Swiss francs.
