Ticino franco

Ticino franco

The franco (plural: "franchi") was the currency of the Swiss canton of Ticino between 1813 and 1850. It was subdivided into 20 "soldi" (singular: "soldo"), each of 12 "denari" (singular "denaro").

History

The Frank was the currency of the Helvetian Republic from 1798. The Helvetian Republic ceased issuing coins in 1803. Ticino introduced the franco, equivalent to the Frank, in 1813 and issued coins until 1845. In 1850, the Swiss franc was introduced, with 1½ Swiss francs = 1 Ticino franco.

Coins

Copper coins were issued for 3 and 6 denari, with bullion 3 soldi and silver ¼, ½, 1, 2 and 4 franchi.
