A Swiss 5 francs coin dated 1980, featuring the distinctive portrait of a hooded Alpine herdsman. Around the portrait is the inscription “Confoederatio Helvetica”, the Latin name for the Swiss Confederation.
The reverse displays the Swiss cross within a shield, framed by edelweiss and gentian branches, with the denomination “5 FR.” above and the date below. A raised beaded border finishes both sides.
Made from copper-nickel, this coin has a silver-coloured appearance but contains no silver. Its standard specifications are approximately 31.45 mm in diameter and 13.2 g in weight.
An appealing addition to a world coin collection, particularly for collectors interested in Switzerland, European currency or coins from a birth year.
