SWITZERLAND. Basil Confederation Gold Medal, ND (ca. early-mid 20th Century). CHOICE UNCIRCULATED.
Diameter: 35mm; Weight: 31.41 gms. Quite enticing and prooflike, this interesting medallic issue in gold features the basilisk, a pun with regard to the name of the city and a form of iconography that figured rather heavily in the earlier coinage emanating from there. Rather RARE and assuredly a piece that does not present itself often. Includes box of issue.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
