SWITZERLAND. Solothurn. 5 Francs, 1855. NGC VF-35.
Bruce-S3; HMZ2-1343a; Richter-1117a. Shooting festival version of the circulation struck 5 Franc and RARE as such. The only difference between the circulation and commemorative strikings being the inclusion of the edge legend "EIDGEN FREISCHIESSEN SOLOTHURN" which indicates it was a shooting festival emission. Mintage of only 3000 pieces. Attractive peripheral toning. NGC VF-35.
