William Tell and his son

Seated Helvetia and 50-franc value

The opposite face features seated Helvetia extending one arm, with a Swiss-cross shield at her side and foliage behind. The denomination 50 Fr. appears to the left, while 0.900 is visible beside the design. The redemption inscription states EINLÖSBAR IN MEIRINGEN BIS 27.

Condition and appearance

The photographs show reflective silver-coloured fields and raised design details, with visible fine lines and scattered marks. No numerical grade, proof designation or third-party certification is assigned.

Collecting appeal
