Some weeks ago @Jolipapa very kindly sent me a New Year's 'box' of goodies, very nice items, some amusing and it included this 5 Franc piece from 1869 that's a multi-tool, who said the Swiss were the first??I wasn't able to show it until now as I put it in a 'safe place' due to all these horrible plumbing renovations going on at my place. So safe I couldn't find it!

Thanks Will. They do not strike the 2018 coins in the 2017 year. I had pre ordered them and they arrived about a week agoFine Duo. Do they mint the 2018 coins already in 17? A beaut that one...![]()
