Sap Moderator Australia 16898 Posts	Posted 02/26/2010 7:39 pm It's from the Swiss canton of Sitten (Sion), now known as Valais. Edit to add: The titles on the coin are those of Francois-Joseph Supersaxo, Bishop of Sion and President and Count of the Republic of Valais. The denomination is either a batzen (24mm) or 1/2 batzen (21mm), depending on the size. 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
