Berne frank

The Frank was the currency of the Swiss canton of Bern between 1798 and 1850.

The Frank was the currency of the Helvetian Republic from 1798, replacing the Thaler in Bern.

The Helvetian Republic ceased issuing coins in 1803.

Billon coins were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 2+1⁄2 and 5 Rappen, 1⁄2 and 1 Batzen, with silver coins for 2+1⁄2 and 5 Batzen and 1, 2 and 4 Franken.

Bern also counterstamped various French écu and 6 livres for use as 40 Batzen coins.
