<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3222473, member: 112"]Don't know for sure but that might not be so easy to do. Before 1798 there were about 75 different entities minting coins in Switzerland, all with different denominations and different values. What that translates into is that with such a small country, and so many different entities minting coins - nobody ever minted a whole lot of them because they were all primarily for local use. And that usually means that not a whole lot of them still exist. Which means they may not be so inexpensive, nor easy to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I could be wrong on this but just for giggles I did a quick, very quick, Google search and no coins from prior to 1730 popped up. I'm sure there's some out there, somewhere, but finding them and the cost - that is the question.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were you I think I'd contact a dealer or two on VCoins that sells the more modern Swiss coins and ask them.
