| Aanvullende informatie |
Switzerland's federal coinage system was still taking shape in 1851, just three years after the new confederation's constitution centralized monetary authority away from the cantons. Nickel was under serious consideration as a base-metal option before billon ultimately won out for the fractional denominations. This piece is one of the surviving proofs of that deliberation — a pattern struck to test the metal, not a coin that ever came close to production.
The decision against nickel held for decades. Switzerland wouldn't issue circulating nickel coinage until the 1880s.
