The first thing that stands out is the outperformance of the Swiss franc and what DB attributes it to:
Until 1999, the SNB was constitutionally mandated to hold at least 40% of its reserves in gold and even though this was subsequently abandoned, they have maintained a notable holding as part of their reserves. No other economy has come close to such policy, although the Bundesbank continues to hold more gold than any central bank other than the Fed, and between 1971 and the introduction of the euro, this helped keep the currency strong, inflation low and allowed it to maintain strong PPP.But perhaps the biggest standout is the collapse of so many currencies on the list. This is far from a comprehensive list as it doesn't include basketcases like Zimbabwe but even among a list of decent (if not strong) economies, around half this list has been zeroed out.
As a reminder, the US dollar has lost about 98% of its value against gold since August 1971, when it was trading at $35 per ounce and 50% since October 2022.
