Swiss Shooting Thalers

Shooting Thalers were issued to commemorate the federal shooting festivals. They were not actually legal tender, but they were equal to the circulating coins in size, denomination and weigth. They were accepted as payment at the shooting festival, but often continued to circulate afterwards.
