Revision as of 22:12, 1 July 2023
This specimen was lot 4541 in Sincona sale 51 (Zurich, October 2018), where it sold for 1,200 CHF (about US$1,448 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"500 Franken 2007. Luzern. Kantonalschützenfest. Sehr selten. Nur 200 Exemplare geprägt. Polierte Platte. FDC. Kleiner Kratzer. (Swiss confederation, five hundred francs of 2007, Lucerne cantonal shooting festival. Very rare. Only 200 pieces struck, Choice Proof, Small scratch.)"
This NCLT was issued for the Lucerne shooting festival. Shooting festival medals/coins are a Swiss tradition going back before confederation in 1848. The early ones (before World War One) were struck to the standard of a silver five francs and circulated as such even tho they bore no denomination. Later ones are strictly collector items with no face value and should be classed as medals, not coins. They are not listed in the regular SCWC. This one is accompanied by a silver fifty francs (KM XS73).
Recorded mintage: 200.
Specification: 25.6 g, .585 fine gold; this specimen 22.66 g.
Catalog reference: KM XS74, Häberling 78.
