  • The Historical Origins of the Safe Haven Status of the Swiss Franc1
    Aussenwirtschaft 67.2 The historical origins of the safe haven status of the Swiss franc1 Ernst Baltensperger and Peter Kugler University of Berne; University of Basel An empirical analysis of international interest rates and of the behavior of the exchange rate of the Swiss franc since 1850 leads to the conclusion that World War I marks the origin of the strong currency and safe haven status of the Swiss franc. Before World War I, interest rates point to a weakness of the Swiss currency against the pound, the guilder and French franc (from 1881 to 1913) that is shared with the German mark. Thereafter, we see the pattern of the Swiss interest rate island develop and become especially pronounced during the Bretton Woods years. Deviations from metallic parities confirm these findings. For the period after World War I, we establish a strong and stable real and nominal trend appreciation against the pound and the dollar that reflects, to a sizeable extent, inflation differentials. JEL codes: N23 Key words: Swiss franc, safe haven, Swiss interest island, deviation from metallic parity, real and nominal appreciation 1 Introduction The Swiss franc is commonly considered a “strong” currency that serves as a “safe haven” in crisis periods. This raises the question of when the Swiss franc took on this property. Is it associated with the flexible exchange rate regime in place since 1973, or was it already in existence before then? Was the Swiss franc a “weak” currency even in the first decades after its creation in 1850? In order to analyze these questions, we need a definition of a strong currency and its properties.

Sein Vorbild ist ein ehemaliger Zuger Spektakelmacher. Michael Wyss 05.01.2021, 05.00 Uhr Exklusiv für Abonnenten «Meinen ersten Auftritt in der Swiss League werde ich nicht mehr vergessen, auch weil wir gegen meinen Stammverein spielten», blickt Louis Betschmann auf den 29. Dezember zurück. Die EVZ Academy verlor damals beim Leader Kloten 0:7, was den 18-Jährigen noch immer wurmt. Er sagt mit einem Augenzwinkern: «Ich hatte mir meinen Einstand aus resultatmässiger Sicht schon etwas anders vorgestellt. Es hätte nicht unbedingt gegen Kloten sein müssen.» Am 2. Januar folgte ein weiteres Aufgebot des Academy-Teams für den Stürmer. Auch dieses Spiel ging hoch verloren: 4:9 gegen Sierre. https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/zentralschweiz/zug/portraet-louis…h-seinem-debut-in-der-evz-academy-demuetig-ld.2082066#back-order Seite 1 von 5 Louis Betschmann bleibt nach seinem Début in der EVZ Academy demütig | Luzerner Zeitung 05.01.21, 14:45 Louis Betschmann, hier im Pausenraum des Trainingszentrums Bild: Stefan Kaiser (Cham, 2.

  • Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy
    Swiss Federal Coins – Respectable and Trustworthy Switzerland stands aloof from the European Union. But Switzerland too once introduced its own single currency – the first federal constitution of 1848 put an end to Switzerland's previously fragmented coinage. The minting of coins in the individual cantons was abolished, and the coinage became the exclusive responsibility of the central government of the Swiss Confederation. And what the Confederation minted was the Swiss franc – French things were very much in fashion, and the decimal structure of the new currency made it convenient to work with. It's tough too, though, the Swiss franc, like a real mountaineer, strong enough to stand up to the euro any day. 1 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 5 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 5 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 24.97 Diameter (mm): 37.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation During the first half of the 19th century, every Swiss canton minted its own coins. The resulting confusion is hard to imagine today – good, valuable money mixed with worthless coins. Only when the sovereign single states joined into the Swiss Confederation in 1848, a legal basis for a complete reformation of the Swiss currency was at hand. Antoine Bovy from Geneva designed the first series of Swiss coins that showed the image of a sitting Helvetia. This type was minted until 1874, when it was exchanged by the standing Helvetia. 2 von 10 www.sunflower.ch Swiss Confederation, 2 Francs 1850, Paris Denomination: 2 Franken Mint Authority: Swiss Confederation Mint: Paris Year of Issue: 1850 Weight (g): 9.97 Diameter (mm): 27.0 Material: Silver Owner: Sunflower Foundation Two years after the introduction of the Swiss federal constitution (1848) the first Swiss coins were issued.

  • Coins of Zurich Throughout History
    Coins of Zurich throughout History Not so long ago it was assumed that Zurich was founded in Roman times, and that the earliest coins of Zurich dated from the 9th century AD. In the meantime we know that Celtic tribes settled in Zurich long before the Romans – and that the first Zurich coins emerged about 1000 years earlier than hitherto believed, namely in the course of the 1st century BC. Hence our tour through the monetary history of Zurich starts in ancient Celtic times. Afterwards, however, no money was minted in Zurich over centuries indeed. Only under Eastern Frankish rule did the small town on the end of the lake become a mint again. And since then the Zurich mint remained in use – with longer and shorter discontuniations until 1848: then the Swiss franc was created as the single currency of Switzerland, and the coins from Zurich as well as all the rest of the circulating Swiss coins were devaluated and replaced. During the 1000 years between the minting of the first medieval coin of Zurich and the last money of the Canton of Zurich in 1848, our money served the most diverse purposes. It was used as means of payment and as article of trade, as measure of value and as savings and, last but not least, for prestige. The coins of Zurich reflect these various functions perspicuously – but see for yourself. 1 von 33 www.sunflower.ch Helvetia, Tigurini, Potin Coin (Zurich Type), Early 1st Century BC Denomination: AE (Potin Coin) Mint Authority: Tribe of the Tigurini Mint: Undefined Year of Issue: -100 Weight (g): 3.6 Diameter (mm): 19.0 Material: Others Owner: Sunflower Foundation Sometime around the beginning of the 1st century BC, Celts of the Tigurini tribe broke the ground of the Lindenhof in Zurich.
