************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

 

20th-21st Century Shooting Talers

These coins are issued as legal tender during the respective shooting festivals, and thus bear a monetary denomination. Many of the 1934 and 1939 5Fr issues circulated after the festivals, since silver coins were scarce and were the same size and silver content as regular 5Fr coins. 50Fr coins are silver. 100Fr, 200Fr, 500Fr and 1000Fr coins are gold. Designs of the gold coins are the same as the silver counterparts, except for denomination. Note: 1000Fr coins contain 0.75233 oz. AGW, and 500Fr coins contain 0.45 - 0.5 oz AGW, depending on fineness and weight, which varies from year to year as experiments continue. Catalog listings of the modern shooting taler series may be found in newer editions of Krause 20th C. “Standard Catalog of World Coins”, “Unusual World Coins” 4th Edition, “Münzenkatalog.ch”, and the new HMZ Katalog offered in the “Books and Albums” section.

SWISS SHOOTING MEDALS

 

I am having a hard time keeping this section up-to-date. This is the most active section on the website, and these are very popular at shows when I display them. I recently purchased two large collections, and have a third in negotiation. Please be sure to email before ordering to be sure I have the one you want. I also have a number being graded at NGC, so look for those in the future.

I indicate “original case” only if I’m sure, i.e. the case is embossed, etc. I have on hand many old un-embossed (or otherwise unidentifiable) medal cases that will fit many of these. If you want a case with a medal, and I have one that fits, add $2 for additional packing and postage.

 

For the Richter Katalog see “Books and Albums” section. Richter is in the process of writing an updated “values” supplement for the Katalog. When he completes this (schedule unknown), I will have it available.
