| Beschrijving voorzijde | The note is printed in blue-grey on cream paper in the American bank note style. At upper centre, a vignette of a steam locomotive with passenger carriages at a station forms the dominant pictorial element; flanking it are two circular medallions bearing the denomination FÜNFZIG. To the left, a pastoral vignette with a tree and river scene occupies a rectangular panel, above which a rooster and a dog appear alongside a beehive symbolising industry, with a sheaf of wheat and agricultural implements to the right. The central text panel carries the issuing bank's name and the bearer promise in German blackletter script, with the printer's imprint of Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co. of Philadelphia and New York at the top margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Bank in St. Gallen was one of several cantonal banks issuing notes during the turbulent Swiss note-issuing free banking period, decades before the Swiss National Bank consolidated currency authority in 1907. Having this note printed by Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co. in the United States was not unusual for the period — the Philadelphia firm was among the most technically sophisticated security printers in the world during the 1830s, and Swiss institutions were not alone in crossing the Atlantic for quality intaglio work.
Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co. dissolved in 1839, which gives this 1837 note a narrow production window within the firm's short existence.
