Apparently spurred by excessive tariffs, the people started to doubt the system and thought it was going to fail. So they effectively had a run on banks, but it was people attempting to redeem silver notes for gold, not withdraw cash from the banks. The supply of gold couldn't meet the demand to withdraw which just like a bank run just created a panic.
