COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 08/07/2010 3:55 pm If it is the same coin in both pictures then token upper picture 1/2 fr. to 2 fr. lower pic 5 fr. Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 08/08/2010 2:24 pm These are coins from Switzerland, probably a 2 franc coin in the top and as Coinaholic says a 5 franc in the lower one. Worth close to 7 USD in exchange, or a bit more if either is old enough to be silver (up till 1960s; top picture doesn't look it but bottom might be). Report this Post to the Staff
w1007 Valued Member South Africa 51 Posts	Posted 08/08/2010 3:12 pm Both photos are of the same coin and I was puzzled that it showed no date or denomination.If needed,I could remove it from its holder to take a closer photo Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 08/08/2010 3:32 pm I'll be darned! That's cool. I've never seen something with the two obverses. What's the diameter? Must be some sort of token. You might google some Swiss numismatic/exonumis dealers, try putting in some German to catch dealers (Münzhandlungen) in German-speaking Switzerland, there seem to be more of them (online at least) than there are French-language dealers. Very cool item! Report this Post to the Staff
