Switzerland
Confederation "Solothurn Shooting Festival" 5 Francs 1855 AU58 PCGS, Bern mint, KM-XS3, Richter-1117a. Mintage: 3,000. Located on the cusp of Mint State designations, limited only by a gentle dispersal of light friction to Helvetia's bust. Regardless, the piece at hand endures as a covetable example of an extremely popular and early shooting "taler" which always brings substantial sums when encountered for sale.
