The official symbols "Fr." (German symbol) and "fr." (Latin languages) are widely used by businesses and advertisers, also for the English language. According to "Art. 1 SR/RS 941.101" of the federal law collection the internationally official abbreviation – besides the national languages – however is "CHF", also in English; respective guides also request to use the ISO 4217 code. The use of "SFr." for "Swiss Franc" and "fr.sv." are outdated. The Latinate “CH” stands for Confoederatio Helvetica. Given the different languages used in Switzerland, Latin is used for language-neutral inscriptions on its coins.
