AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Switzerland, Geneva. Republic (Stadt und Kanton). 3 Quarts 1775 - Rare "FDC / Mint State" Condition

An exceptional and highly elusive fractional silver/billon piece from the Swiss Canton of Geneva. This 1775 3 Quarts features the crisp, dual-headed eagle under a crown on the reverse, with the bold motto "POST TENEBRAS LUX". The obverse displays the detailed coat of arms of Geneva beneath a radiant sun, inscribed "RESPUBL. GENEVEN."

Weighing 0.93 grams, this specimen is remarkably preserved for its type. Most examples from this era suffered heavily from circulation, making this specific coin—designated as FDC (Mint State)—a premier addition for serious collectors of Swiss Cantonal coinage or world type sets.

Country: Switzerland (Canton of Geneva)
Year: 1775
Denomination: 3 Quarts
Weight: 0.93 g
Condition: FDC / Mint State (Uncirculated)
