Set Description
Taler , 1/2 Taler and 1/4 Taler coins of Swiss Cantons with knight devices.

Set Goals
Collect all coins above from 1795 to 1835
Over the past years I have collected this set of Switzerland coins (I call them Knights)
I have found the set (which is not complete) to be extremely difficult to assemble but very rewarding
Most but not all of the coins came from Switzerland sources and were raw when purchased.
My comments are purely from my personal experience and do not reflect any written data.
NGC has done a fantastic job grading these coins.
As I find more of the required pieces I will add them to this collection.

At this point I am not sure which coin is the rarest. Will keep searching.
View Coin BERN HMZ 2-218e Heavy Knight SWITZERLAND - CANTONS Swiss Canton Bern 1798 Silver TALER 1798 Switzerlnd BERN DAV-1760A NGC MS 63

View Coin BERN HMZ 2-219a SWITZERLAND - CANTONS Swiss Canton Bern 1796 Silver 1/2T 1796 Switzerlnd BERN NGC MS 62 PL This coin is part of a study I am currently doing on the Shield side.
So far three varieties "A" Close, Med. and far.
This coin is the far "A"
Also all three coins have a completely different dot arrangement under the bear
and the bear's foot placement on the horizontal line is different.
I will list the other two coins soon.
Knight sides have differences also.

View Coin Bern HMZ 2-233a SWITZERLAND - CANTONS Bern 1811 Silver FRANK 1811 Switzerlnd BERN KMZ 2-233a NGC MS 65 Nice MS65 replacement for the MS64 above.
This coin and the MS64 example have different reverses.
(Note the foot positions on the bar of the two middle feet.)
This is an unlisted variety and I have not done a study to
see which one is rarer. Of the two coins the MS64 is the
sharpest strike and it appears that the knights side of the two coins
are the same.

View Coin BERN HMZ 2-230c SWITZERLAND - CANTONS Swiss Canton Bern 1835 Silver 4F 1835 Switzerlnd BERN NGC MS 65 Some what under rated rarity in this grade and above.
This coin is heavily toned and should go to NCS for
preservation. However it is the only slab I own with
a “WINGS” sticker. I purchased it that way and have
had it for years. The sticker is probably a rarity in its
own right.
The other thing about this coin is, it appears to be
proof like.
