# Accessories and Antique Coins for a Special Day * Antique coins are known as stable assets with a high potential for appreciation because their value tends not to decrease over time, as their numbers only diminish after they are issued (it is said that the value of antique coins has not decreased in the last 27 years). Unless they are lost, stolen, or the storage location is affected by fire or flood, their value will not be lost, and the number of coins decreases after issuance due to such disasters or being melted down as metal. Also, since they do not increase, their rarity naturally increases year by year. * There are many collectors overseas, and the market is quite large, but there are still few collectors in Japan. * Why not start collecting antique coins, which are called the "strongest defensive assets," on this occasion? SWITZERLAND PF 69 Ultra Cameo Shooting Festival 50 Francs 2009 The Swiss Shooting Festival is a shooting competition held periodically in Switzerland. Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, has a military service system for men aged 18-34, and they are given guns when they enter military service. Therefore, the gun ownership rate in Switzerland is 27.6%, meaning that about one in four people owns a gun. Due to these social reasons, many people enjoy shooting, and the important event "Shooting Festival" is held, so commemorative coins are issued. The coins of the Shooting Festival all have excellent designs and are highly regarded, with many collectors both domestically and internationally. The obverse design features a shooter and a goddess sitting with her elbow on the shield of Obwalden. The goddess is pointing the target to the shooter. The reverse design features crossed rifles at the base of a wreath, and a powder horn and cartridge belt hanging between them. The denomination "50 FR" is engraved in the center. Although this item is not top grade, you can enjoy the wonderful modeling unique to high-grade items. Also, this coin was purchased at A&W (Auction World), a major auction company, where authenticity has also been verified.
