A new Swiss Shooting Taler

[browningguy]

Coin collecting is my other hobby, so I wanted to show off this 1883 5 Francs commemorating the National Shooting Festival at Lugano that I just bought. The Swiss really knew how to engrave in those days, and I love being able to combine two hobbies, saves money that way.

I see a rifle buttstock on the reverse(?) side.

Oh ok I see it now, that's a beautiful coin btw.

I like the train on the obverse, that's funny.
