Overview

Historical significance

Issued during World War II while Switzerland maintained its neutrality. This coinage design is iconic for its longevity, having remained virtually unchanged since the late 19th century, symbolizing Swiss stability and tradition.

$10.00 - $25.00 USD (depending on condition and silver market price)

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free coin holder or flip to prevent 'green slime' damage. Avoid cleaning or polishing as it removes the natural patina and significantly reduces numismatic value. Handle by the edges only to avoid leaving fingerprint oils on the silver surface.
