Confederation Specimen "Solothurn Shooting Festival" 5 Francs 1855 SP63 PCGS, Bern mint, KM-XS3, HMZ-2-1343a, Richter-1117a. Struck in a mintage of only 3,000 pieces, and one of the most popular types in the broader Shooting Festival series. The cataloger is compelled to take a moment of adoration at the lasting beauty of this gorgeous design. The sculpted details of Helvetia are expressed to the finest level resulting in a near-medallic visual that projects towards the viewer. The steel-gray surfaces obverse admit faint hairlines under magnification, while the turn of the wrist unleashes a sharp flash of brilliance across the fields. The reverse appears highly reflective, largely free from toning. A key Swiss rarity for the discerning collector.
