Liechtenstein Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Liechtenstein is unique and fascinating, reflecting the principality's close economic relationship with Switzerland. Over the years, Liechtenstein has undergone significant changes in its monetary system, moving from having its own currency to adopting the Swiss franc.
Current banknotes in circulation
Liechtenstein does not currently issue its own banknotes. Since 1924, the country has used the Swiss franc as its official currency, thanks to a monetary agreement with Switzerland. The banknotes in circulation are therefore the same as those used in Switzerland, including denominations of 10, 20, 50, 50, 100, 200 and 1000 Swiss francs. These banknotes are known for their innovative design and advanced security features.
Old banknotes and historical facts
Before adopting the Swiss franc, Liechtenstein had its own currency, the Liechtenstein krone, introduced in 1898. During this period, the country issued banknotes of its own, albeit in limited quantities. An important milestone in Liechtenstein's notafilia was the issuance of emergency banknotes in 1920, known as "Notgeld", to cope with the cash shortage after World War I. These banknotes, now considered collector's items, were introduced in 1898. These banknotes, now considered collector's items, are a unique testimony to the principality's financial history.
