I have never ever seen this coin. Cool to know!
Is it worth 5? Seems rare
its a comerative coin. the SNB will exchange it for the nominative value collectors wont pay much more due to the fact it was in circulation and not looking pristine anymore
It’s a collectors coin as long as it’s flawlessly wrapped in its sealed cover.
It’s accepted at face value even by vending machines.
It’s legal tender and valued 5.- CHF. Special memorial mint, happens every now and then.
Weird. They shouldn’t give you special coins as a change. But, it is legal tender and valued as much as the coin says: CHF 5.
You can exchange it at any bank, some banks sell these kind of coins, too. There are plenty of beautiful ones. The last one, was a CHF 50 with Roger Federer on it.
Keep it, wait for the value to rise even more. Maybe a rich collector will dish out for it in a few decades
They come out with special coins (Gedenkmünzen) every year; iirc there’s CHF 5, CHF 10, CHF 20 and CHF 25 ones (made of different materials)
Something similar happened to me once, got a special edition 5.- chf coin as change… googled it, turns out its worth 20.- chf. Thanks a bunch 😁
It’s a “[Gedenkfünfliber](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Schweizer_Gedenkf%C3%BCnfliber)”, which were issued yearly between 1974 and 1990 to commemorate various people and events. They’re legal tender worth CHF 5.00, but the collector’s value is usually higher than that, which is why they don’t often show up in circulation.
This particular one was issued to commemorate the ~~600-year anniversary of the Battle of Sempach~~ 100^th birthday of Ernest Ansermet.
Somewhat related: You have probably realised that 10Rp and 20Rp coins can be pretty old. I think the oldes one I have is a 20Rp coin from 1891 or something. Crazy to think how much this coin went through and how it still manages to survive. I still have this coin and refuse to spend it.
Thats the year coins. 5.- or 20.- worth on the year you biy it from the bank. 100.- + after many years

Got [this beauty](https://www.reddit.com/r/Switzerland/comments/se171o/always_check_the_change_this_highquality_5liber/) as change recently. It’s silver, but ppl don’t pay attention, as the design wasn’t modified since 🙂
Oo, nice, it’s real, but a collector. I got one once with women on the back.
let me buy it from you
