Comment
The devices on this pattern are slightly smaller than on the regular silver issue. The reason for this could be that the embossing was not carried out with the definitive pair of dies, but with the original matrices. The rim is also wider, due to the fact that the piece has a smooth edge.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs (War bond) 1936 from Switzerland is that it was designed by the famous Swiss artist and sculptor, Paul Burkhard. Burkhard was known for his work in various fields, including numismatics, and his designs were often characterized by their simplicity and elegance. The Pattern 5 Francs coin features a portrait of a young woman, representing the Swiss nation, on the obverse, and a stylized eagle on the reverse.
