250 FR Swiss coin celebrating the 700th anniversary of Switzerland’s Confederation (1291-1991).
Switzerland in its modern form dates back to about 1848 and the adoption of the Federal Constitution. However, the earliest manifestation of Switzerland began in 1291, when the Cantons of Uri, Schwyze and Unterwalden joined together to form a confederation to provide mutual support in order to guard their independence from powerful neighbouring powers, other Cantons later joined for the same reasons, and the confederalist principles upon which Switzerland as a nation was founded have largely survived down to the present day.

Buying & Selling
Buyers and sellers alike may be interested to note that gold medallions like these often trade at prices close to their intrinsic metal value. While this may not be what sellers wish to hear, it should delight potential buyers.
At the time of creating this page, we had a one of these medallions in stock, and would be happy to sell it for a modest premium over their intrinsic gold content, however as with many pages of our website, this page has a dual purpose, to sell our stock, and to provide information. If you have a similar medallion, which you would like to sell, we would be pleased to hear from you.
