SWISS HISTORICAL MEDALS

(Page updated April 2008)

 

All translated from German, French, etc., if imperfectly. Martin (historical)#s or other ID used where possible. Most are really eye-catching medals! MM "B" indicates struck at Bern Mint. As I have yet to increase images on the website, please email for a photo if one interests you.
