Comments

There are two varieties:

  • The value “5” is followed by a small triangular mintmark, coin alignment.
  • No mintmark, no accents in the text, medal alignment

 

According to following source there are three varieties, but the description of the position of the mintmark does not fit the token with the denomination of 5 Francs.
