Owner Comments:

Medal, 1879, AR, SWITZERLAND SHOOTING MEDAL, BASEL, Mintage 30,000. PCGS MS62. Traditionally these coins were called Swiss Shooting Thalers but in reality they are medallic issues equal to the then current silver five francs. Well struck with russet and over Proof like surfaces. Old Green Holder.
