You can see on the reverse there are some dots in the field. Also if you look closely at the flower or the emblem, the details look too crude. You...
I guess the positive side is the Swiss 10 franc note is still worth 10 US dollars at this point of time.

Not too sure what information you are after but I can provide some general information. I posted this in another forum but decided to copy and...
