Kahawai New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 7:59 pm Is the word Confederation spelled wrong and is the OE supposed to be stuck together? I have many more coins, I am just posting a few at a time. There are no graders here in Hawaii. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18600 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 8:11 pm @kahawai, this coin is a 10 Rappen from Switzerland. Of course we are happy to help you with any of your mystery coins, but consider using the free app "coinoscope" as a first pass at figuring out what you have. Here is a link to a thread about it: http://goccf.com/t/361606 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18600 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 9:01 pm Ok perfect! With regard to your question about the inscription, this is in Latin and is spelled correctly (in that language).

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 638 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 05:38 am As Switzerland has 4 official national languages (German, French, Italian and Romansh) they used Latin as a "neutral" language on their coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Kahawai New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 1:58 pm wow thanks you guys, I didnt know that about Switzerland! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 18600 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 6:39 pm Quote: Swiss people don't speak English anyway English may not be an official language, but having travelled to Switzerland a couple dozen times, I can confirm that the vast majority of Swiss have some knowledge of the English language. I can only think of two people I met who have had essentially no English: a rural farmer and the clerk at a sandwich shop near the Austrian border.

Sap Moderator Australia 13542 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 7:01 pm Quote: is the OE supposed to be stuck together? Yes. The OE ligature is largely extinct in English. Ligatures were originally invented to save space and make handwriting quicker, but with the invention of movable type printing, and especially the typewriter, the necessity of having to create an entire extra key for a rarely-used combination of vowels doomed the ligature to obscurity. In American English, words which used to have the OE ligature are now spelled with just "E", while in British English, many of those words are still spelled with "OE". "Confederation" is one of the few words where the "OE" spelling ("Confoederation") is not retained in British English. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
