Mintage : 4,000,000
Country : Switzerland

In Switzerland, 5,10,20 Rappen is hasn't change the portrait of the woman in coin since 1879 until Now. It's very amazing for me. In the obverse you can see the portrait in right profile of a feminine allegory of Liberty, with a crown bearing the word "LIBERTAS" (freedom), is surrounded with the inscription "CONFŒDERATIO HELVETICA" (Swiss Confederation). In the reverse you will find the nominal of the coin. The coin is F or VF.Yeah,i know i'm not a master at grading coin. So,you can judge it yourself.  The lowest minted of this series is a 1896 B With....16 MINTAGE!. I think the numismatic expert would sell their house and their kidney for it. Just kidding..

2½ Cents 1941 - Wilhelmina


Description :  2½ Cents - Wilhelmina (German Occupation)
Mintage : 27,600,000
Country : Netherlands

A gift from World War II,the 2 half cent from netherlands. All is great,it's minted by germany and engraved by N. De Haas during 1941 to 1942. The version of 1942 is quiet rare, because some of them has melted for military needs and they're very expensive to sell. It's made of zinc. I'm so very lucky to own this, although it's the more common than the type of 1942. My coin is nearly clear smooth. You can take a look the year and the "Nederland" letter at this coin. it's worth about $5 in a clear condition i think. Hope you like it.
