There is evidence that there is more than one edge position on 5 francs 1989B Switzerland.
A bit of history. In most cases the edge appears on the blank during mint production first, and the sides struck by dies later. It brings to arbitrary orientation of the edge pattern with respect to the sides of coin. This is not true for Switzerland 5 Francs. This coin is struck with special care in such a way, that the edge is always in the same position with respect of sides. In some years coins with more then one positions are known, which produce a variety of combination type. Thus for example 1967 has 2 combination varieties and 1931 - 4.
The article https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces194.html gives adopted by collectors style of this orientation description.
Let us return to the topic back. As it is described in the above mentioned article the edge position is always considered from the Obv. The coin 5 francs 1989B has medal alignment, and not a coin alignment as the coins in silver. This is one more reason to take special care, that the Obv. should be the reference point.
The edge has incused inscription DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT 🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉🟉 (13 stars), see for example https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces294830.html. Please note, that there are no additional decorations such as vertical bars which can be spot on the coins with embossed lettering.
Let us consider the letter D to DOMINUS as the beginning of the legend. In this way the edge position is described entirely, if we mention where this letter D with respect to the Obv. is situated. If we imaginary mark the Obv. in the clock manner, then it is enough just to tell the time of imaginary clock hand:
For example. The Variety 1 from last sliver emission
has the beginning of the edge at 7:30 o'clock.
Finally, now the question.
