| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is executed in fine intaglio engraving in black on white paper. At centre, a large oval vignette presents a panoramic view of Lichtensteig with its townscape, river valley, and surrounding hills. The bank title "Die Toggenburger Bank" appears in ornate Gothic script within a decorative arch at the top, flanked on either side by circular guilloche medallions bearing the denomination numeral. To the lower left, a seated female allegory at a spinning wheel represents industry, while to the lower right a classical male figure is shown resting against an attribute, symbolising commerce or agriculture; three signature lines for Cassier, Präsident, and Director appear at the foot. |

| Anmerkungen |
The Toggenburger Bank was one of dozens of small cantonal and regional note-issuing institutions operating in Switzerland before the Federal Banking Act of 1881 consolidated the right of issue. Lichtensteig is a minor market town in the Toggenburg valley of St. Gallen canton — a modest base for a bank of issue, which is part of what makes this piece unusual. These regional Swiss franken notes were never produced in large quantities, and circulation was often geographically narrow.
Pick 468 is catalogued as rare. The survival rate for notes from small Swiss regional banks of this period is genuinely low — redemption obligations and the post-1881 withdrawal process eliminated most of the circulating stock.
