Liechtenstein has used the Swiss Franc (CHF) as its official currency since 1924, under a monetary agreement with Switzerland. The word “franc” comes from the Latin inscription “Francorum Rex Johannes Dei Gratia,” found on French gold coins minted in 1360, meaning “King of the Franks by the grace of God.”
1 Swiss Franc is divided into 100 rappen. The term “rappen” comes from Old German, where “rabe” meant “raven,” a bird that appeared on some medieval coins from the Swiss cantons.
