Sure I have many Swiss coins. Which particular one are you referring too ???

 

the 1885 20 cent coin. not sure if there is more than one? the one i have does not look like yours

 

this is it

 

Swiss 20 rappen (fractional Franc). I have a bunch from the early 1900's. Someone with a Krause on hand could tell you more.

 

According to my 2005 Krause, Nickle, mintage 3 million, value .25 - $1.00 in that condition.

 

I concur, a buck at the most in that condition.

 

Yes and there are many people here that love the old Swiss Shooting Medals as well as the coins of the cantons. Here is a nice 5 rap from 1881, very similar to your 20 rap.
