A 5 franc piece just acquired today, 37 mm in diameter. The photos don't particularly highlight the fact that the strike is at least semi-prooflike.   I especially like the accurate depiction of a Vetterli rifle on the reverse. See: http://www.swissrifles.com/vetterli/

If you are going to collect Swiss coins, get yourself a copy of Catalogue des Monnaies Swiss Coin Catalog (covers from 1797 to date, all Swiss and Liechtenstein coins and banknotes, including all schutzenthalers) My copy used, second hand from my LCS.
