Canton code, plain number, light-green ground: agriculture and forestry — and unlike Germany's green plate, which is a tax marker, the Swiss one really is about farming. One 300 × 80 mm plate, and no coats of arms at all.

## About this plate

Note the sharp contrast with Germany's green plate, which is a TAX-EXEMPTION marker with an agricultural majority, the Swiss green plate really is about agriculture and forestry, and the VZV says so in those words.
