Swiss Historical Medals, Schulpämie, Jetons

(Page updated December 2009)

 

All translated from German, French, etc., if imperfectly. Martin (historical)#s or other ID used where possible, I have only the small old Martin as a reference.  Most are really eye-catching medals! It is difficult to describe most of these in words, so please email for a photo if one interests you.
