Commentary
Cet écu est l'un des plus rares et des plus difficiles à trouver de la série suisse. En effet, contrairement aux "écus de tir", ces frappes à l'Helvetia ne furent pas conservées en souvenir ni thésaurisées..
This shield is one of the rarest and hardest to find in the Swiss series. Unlike the \\\"shooting shields,\\\" these Helvetia-shaped coins were not kept as souvenirs or hoarded.
