Both of them were graded by NGC. The one of KM 4 is graded MS62 while the one of KM 5 is graded MS63 (I thought it should be prooflike). However, I don't know their current market value since I bought raw coins separately last year.
According to Inwyler, both of them were struck around 1800. The engravers of the first one (Inwyler# 45) are Johann Meyer (Ioh. M.) [fl. 1810] and Hans Ulrich Brup[p]acher (HU. BP.) and the one of the second one (Inwyler# 49) is S. [Sebastian?] [Samuel? fl. 1810] Burger (S.B.F.) The design of KM#5 or similar is later than the one of KM#4 or similar. It is Krause's mistake to combine them into just two editions (KM#4 and KM#5) since each of edition is unique in design.

SWITZERLAND, Beromünster Abbey. KM 5. NGC MS63 [Some images of this coin are used in Krause catalog.]
Krause catalog 18 Century 3rd P.1153 KM# 5 (You can compare it with images above. I think they are the same one!)

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but it works proper on my laptop.
My main collecting interests are medieval Hanseatic towns coins (Lubeck, Hamburg, Riga, Tartu, Tallinn, etc), 18 century German free cities coins(Regensburg, etc), and 1889~1949 China coins.
