Product Description
20 Franc Swiss Gold Coin
Please note, the year of the coin will vary based on availability.
NYCBullion is pleased to offer the 20 Franc Swiss Gold Coin, a treasured piece of European numismatic history. Each coin contains 0.1867 troy ounces of .900 fine gold and will arrive in Almost Uncirculated (AU) or Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, depending on availability. Known for its striking allegorical design and historical prestige, the Vreneli remains a cornerstone for both collectors and investors who seek heritage, beauty, and intrinsic value in their gold holdings.
A Legacy of Swiss Excellence
Originally minted between 1897 and 1936, the 20 Franc Vreneli series represents Switzerland’s most iconic gold coinage. Production ceased during the Great Depression but resumed briefly with restrikes in 1947 and 1949, using the original dies. The term "Vreneli" affectionately refers to the young woman featured on the obverse—Helvetia, the female personification of Switzerland. The name derives from Swiss-German dialect and has since become synonymous with these timeless coins.
The design was created by Fritz Ulisse Landry, a renowned Swiss medalist from Neuchâtel. With a backdrop of the Swiss Alps and traditional floral accents like Edelweiss, the Vreneli coin not only captures national pride but also stands as a masterpiece of early 20th-century engraving.
