Dang if I did that good in 10 min. I'd be screaming. I don't find that in an afternoon. Congrats.

Looks like the coin was part of a charm bracelet at one time - seems a bit unusual to me that all the connecting loops are mostly gone !
somebody likely clipped it apart- as sterling is a durable alloy (unless it's in salt water conditions )

Very uncommon to find a Swiss coin, i don't know a single one found so coming from a bracelet was probably the only chance for that coin to leave Switzerland....

I agree, very uncommon find a Swiss silver coin, but here a German silver coin too.
