Hello fellow CoinPeople,
I recently got given an ice cream tub of coins by a good friend and have sorted out all of the British and Commonwealth coins but the foreign coinage is a little more tricky. Especially as I don't collect them nor own a copy of Krause...
Here goes!

If it was silver, that one would be worth about €10,000 ...
The 5 fr coins were silver until 1967, then (1968) Cu-Ni plus very few Ag pieces. Then, 1969, they went back to silver; after that (1970-), Cu-Ni again.

Christian,
I doubt that it's Silver then...
I think that CoinPeople has converted me to the Darkside, I enjoy getting bulk lots of foreign coins and then looking through them! But it'll never replace my hammered passion.
Many thanks,
Clive.
