Details
From the stock of Schweizerische Kreditanstalt, Zurich, April 1973.
From the type with the edge lettering, it is clearly the reference WR 279. On closer inspection of the punctuation on the front, however, it is noticeable that with the two letters D.G: after the D there is only a dot and no colon... This front side transcription, however, does not match the reference WR 279 but the photo of the reference WR 283 (the description, however, is not correctly reproduced there!).
