Coin Store Visit

I couldn't find any ancient coins today so in order to feed my addiction,I went through the modern foreign stuff and picked up these two pieces,a 1945 Canadian half and 1931B Swiss 5 Franc.
Anyone know what the B stands for?Thanks!

Nice additions mate :smile I think the 'B' stands for the mint at Bern, I am not 100% certain so check LOL

De Orc :kewl:

 

Ben,
I went to the site and looked at the thread.Looks like fun but I think a few of the players didn't understand the rules of the game.If I understand correctly,someone posts a photo of a coin and the next person is supposed to post one of the same denomination or year.Right?

 

Krause says "B" is indeed the mark for the mint at Bern, Switzerland.

 

Thanks Roy!
I think you're right.

 

Yes, I think it's stayed "pretty much" true to form... Obviously, we're playing Australian rules
