1. Title: A Swiss Postcard from the Early 1900s Explaining the Swiss Currency and Its Equivalent Values in Other Countries This postcard, hailing from the early 1900s, showcases an intriguing illustration of the Swiss flag adorned with the national emblem, the Swiss cross, against a backdrop of picturesque Alpine mountains. The primary focus of the postcard, however, lies beneath the flag: a clear and concise explanation of the Swiss currency and its equivalent values in various international currencies. The postcard reads, "Swiss Postcard. Explaining the Swiss Currency. 1 Swiss Franc = 20 Centimes. 1 Swiss Franc = 5 French Francs. 1 Swiss Franc = 2 Belgian Francs. 1 Swiss Franc = 2 Italian Liras. 1 Swiss Franc = 3 German Marks. 1 Swiss Franc = 12 English Shillings. 1 Swiss Franc = 24 English Pence." The illustration below the text features a group of coins, including gold, silver, and copper francs and centimes, which further emphasizes the monetary system of the time. The coins are labeled with their respective values, making it an educational and visually appealing addition to the postcard. Switzerland, known for its financial stability and neutrality, adopted the Swiss Franc as its national currency in 1850. The Swiss Franc was a significant currency during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and this postcard serves as a testament to its international standing. The exchange rates depicted on the postcard provide a fascinating comparison of the value of the Swiss Franc against other major currencies during that era. This charming postcard not only serves as a beautiful keepsake but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the monetary history of Switzerland and its international relationships during the 1900s.
