Comment
This currency is still exchangeable at the Swiss National Bank for face value.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Rappen (Libertas; nickel) coin from Switzerland is that it was designed by the artist Paul Burkhard, who was a prominent Swiss sculptor and medalist. He created the design for the coin's obverse, which features a depiction of Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, with a wreath of oak leaves and a bundle of rods, symbolizing strength and unity. Burkhard's design was chosen as the winner of a competition held by the Swiss Federal Government in 1931, and it has been featured on the 5 Rappen coin ever since.
