My two latest acquisitions, circumstantially, are both Swiss.
The first is Zohar's fault, because he regularly puts evil thoughts in my mind as to how to expand my collecting interests ( and in other ways, as now I am listening to Chopin's Polonaise Op. 53 in A flat major. Zohar's fault. He knows why.) Anyway, this is a Bern school medal, 1/4 taler size, 6.93 grams. No where near as nice as the one I purchased from the aforementioned individual, but neat, in its own way.
The second is a taler that continues to fascinate me. This is my fourth one. I love the design and now it holds a special attaction along with the Haitian Gourde of the late 1880s and the 1935 "Rocking Horse" crown.
