Swiss franc (CHF)

Currency

The Swiss franc, represented by the ISO code CHF and symbol Fr., is the official legal tender of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Issued by the Swiss National Bank, the modern franc was created in 1850 under the Swiss Federal Constitution, unifying diverse cantonal currencies at parity with the French franc. Known for its historical role as a safe-haven asset, it is subdivided into 100 centimes, Rappen, or centesimi.
