Swiss currency has always held a place of pride in history right from the time the first Swiss gold coins struck in 1492 and were used as universal currency. One of the most dignified and well designed Swiss gold coins is the Swiss 20 Franc gold which was first struck in 1897. This Swiss 20 Franc Vreneli as it is popularly known has only added to the reputation of Switzerland being one of the most powerful and financially stable countries in the world. These coins are being treasured by both collectors and gold investors. While investors typically like to hoard such gold, collectors love to collect such coins for their timeless beauty.

The Swiss 20 Franc is a well crafted gold coin that displays the profile view of a Swiss woman who has braided hair and wears flowers around her neck in front of the Alps of Switzerland. The words “Helvetia” which are English words for this type of coin are located just above her head. The reverse side of the Swiss 20 Franc coin has the familiar Swiss shield placed on top of an olive branch which has been tied with ribbons. To the left of the shield are inscribed the value of the coin and the minting date at the bottom just underneath the shield.

All Vreneli Swiss 20 Franc Gold coins were minted in the lone minting facility in Bern in 1879. These coins consist of 90% gold and measure 21mm across. All these coins are Genuine Legal Tender and contain 0.1867 troy oz. of pure gold. In all, 29 pieces of this Vreneli Swiss coin were minted in that year with a small cross imprinted on the observe side in the center of the Swiss cross so as to distinguish these coins from others.
