Gold-Franc

The Gold Franc was the unit of account for the Bank for International Settlements from 1930 until April 1, 2003. It was replaced with the Special Drawing Right. It originated as a fork of the Swiss Franc, and remained at the value the Swiss Franc was pegged (0.29g/fine gold) after the Swiss Franc came off the gold standard.
