gxseries Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Seems like it's struck over an older coin. The seller mentioned that it's a Bern 1826 5 rappen but I struggle to see the year and denomination to start off with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_idk Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think there's no denomination or date, at all, but the identification's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
