Hi all,
Flea Market purchase 6-17-2017

Here is a nice Swiss 1 Rappen I picked up for $1.00

I want to share the following Numista info -

I really like the designs of coins from Switzerland. They are some of my favorites.

 

nice find for a dollar

 

People have no idea how tough these are.

In this case I don't either. All I know is they made a mere 10,000 mint sets and most are gone now. The cu/ ni moderns are pretty scarce and the copper are hardly common but they're easier than the cu/ ni.

Swiss coins tend to be very well made so this might not be a mint set coin.

 

Time to start collecting a date set. 1851-date

 

These bronze 1 and 2 rp/ct coins are not made any more these days; the 0.05 coin is the lowest denomination. Now this year (1970) was the first issue without the B mintmark. Between 1970 and 1985 they did not do that, hence the difference between your coin and the Numista image ...
