numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 2:08 pm I just bought a 1924 5 Franc piece. The edge is plain (no legend or reeding). Other Liechtenstein coins I have, all Krone denominations, have an edge legend KLAR UND FEST. Were the Franc coins plain edged or are they also supposed to have the incuse edge legend? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 3:22 pm I thought Liechtenstein used/uses Swiss Franc? Maybe it's a special issue or something. Standard swiss 5F coins always had/has excuse and incuse lettering, if I'm not mistaken. Does your coin read Liechtenstein or is this just an assumption? Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 3:34 pm The Principality of Lichtenstein uses the Swiss Franc, but issues its own coinage in small amounts. It's kind of like San Marino or Vatican coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 3:36 pm http://en.numista.com/catalogue/lie...stein-1.html Does the coin look like any of these? http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23785.html lists a 1924 5 Franc coin. Demonetized. Perhaps the switch to Swiss coins had something to do with that. Edited by matthewvincent 04/28/2015 3:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 3:38 pm Liechtenstein issued 1, 2, and 5 krone coins from 1900 to 1915 linked to the Austrian krone. After WW1, they adopted the franc tied to the Swiss franc. In 1924 they issued half franc, 1, 2, and 5 franc coins. Here is a photo of the coin Report this Post to the Staff
