<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 863924, member: 39&quot;]Now that you know that those are Swiss and not French, let me just add that the &quot;5&quot; piece is a 5 centimes or rappen coin. (100 ct/rp = 1 fr). Switzerland has four official languages, and the name of the currency (franken, franc ...) begins with &quot;Fr&quot; in all four. The sub-unit however has various names, e.g. rappen in German or centime(s) in French. So they decided to not put the unit name on the smaller pieces. For the same reason the country name is always in Latin on the Swiss coins - &quot;Helvetia&quot; or &quot;Confœderatio Helvetica&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>@weryon and Siberian Man: Yes, that Sower is a great design. I have those too, but my &quot;silver sowers&quot; are somewhat worn. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
