Hi all, Would much rather hear your input instead of google-ing it. It is the exact same size as Abe. There seems to be an extra leaf? Also doubling on eye. Don't know the norm, so didn't know what to look for, but I'm sure ya'll will tell me.
Thanks, Teryble

Teryble,
That is a 10 rappen coin from Switzerland.

I looked at some of my 10 rappen coins and they all seem to have the same "extra leaf" in the same spot. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I think your oak leaf/acorn pic was taken to the right of and slightly below the "0" in "10"? It's the "inboard" acorn?)

My 10 rappens also seem to have the same doubled upper eyelid too. If I hold them at one angle they appear to have just one eyelid but if I move them around I see the "doubled" effect. I'm pretty sure that's part of the standard design.


You certainly found some characteristics that I had never previously noticed, so good job looking for varieties! If you keep up that level of scrutiny I'm sure you'll find something soon.

Wow...I'm surprised at the detail you've noticed on these 10 Rp. coins. I have piles of them at home and never gave them a second glance, since the design has hardly changed over time. I'll take a close look now.

Thanks for the ego boost, even though I fell short. Her ear hole actually looks kinda deep, for lack of better words. I'm learning, thanks to all
