What did I find in my pocket?

[Bahumat]

I found a coin, but I dont know where it's from :-(

It's silver with 10 on the front. The border on the front contains leaves.

On the back its some She-Male.

CONFOEDERATICO HELVETICA 1981

The O E are a weird letter. It's like 2 letters merged into one.

 

[Bahumat]

I'm gonna guess its from Denmark

If you think I used google, I didn't.

I just happened to know that Helvetia is (or was at least) on all Swiss stamps that I used to collect as a kid. I remembered it because it sounds awful close to "Helvete" which means "Hell" in Swedish. I thought it funny that Hell had their own stamps. And of course also that the Helvetii was a Gaul tribe that lived in the area around the Alps before they got driven out by Germanic tribes and ended up having to fight Caesar's legions. So I reckon that's where the name came from.

That coin is a 10 cent (100 cents to the CHF) and is worth £0.04. Its the second smallest coin in the swiss currency, the smallest is a 5 which is tiny and gold in colour. The largest coin is 5 CHF which is worth £2.

There are 2.2 CHF to the £ roughly. But you can get 1000CHF notes out of cash machines which are worth £440! The largest note I have used is a 200 CHF.
