This specimen was lot 40803 in Ponterio sale 168 (Philadelphia, August 2012), where it sold for $2,585. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "SWITZERLAND. 5 Francs, 1909-B. PCGS MS-64+ Secure Holder." It is a common date of its type (struck 1888-1916, nearly the same span as the [[PCGS 6489 - 1901 50C|Barber half dollar]], which it strongly resembles) yet is still expensive in nice condition. It was superseded in 1922 by a five francs bearing a portrait of hero William Tell. Confederation coinage commenced in 1850; prior to that, each canton struck its own coinage. In 1931, the five francs was reduced to 15 grams, .835 fine, and struck in that form until 1969.

''Recorded mintage:'' 120,000.

''Specification:'' 25 g, .900 fine silver.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 34, [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-392]].
