Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
This captivating collection features three Swiss 1/2 Franc coins, showcasing the craftsmanship of the noted engraver Antoine Bovy. The lot includes the following pieces:
1. **1958-B Switzerland 1/2 Franc Coin** - Graded as Almost Uncirculated (A.U.), this coin exhibits strong original luster and sharp details, with minimal traces of friction on its highest points.
2. **1948-B Switzerland 1/2 Franc Coin** - Graded as Very Fine (V.F.), this piece shows moderate, even wear on the high points of Helvetia's figure and the wreath, while all major features and lettering remain clear and distinct.
3. **1950-B Switzerland 1/2 Franc Coin** - Graded as Very Good (V.G.), this coin is well-worn, showing the main features yet appearing flat due to circulation, with the wreath and figure heavily smoothed.
All coins are composed of .835 silver, adding to their intrinsic bullion value alongside their numismatic appeal. Stuck at the Bern mint, these coins feature Helvetia, the female national personification of Switzerland, surrounded by 22 stars representing the cantons.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable trio of Swiss history. Inventory #268

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them.
