Swiss Gold 20 Francs Helvetia Coin Cleaned (Random Year)
The Swiss 20 Francs gold coin, often known by its informal nickname Vreneli, stands as a classic symbol of Switzerland. Struck at the Bern Mint, also known as the Swissmint, this series was produced during a span of years from 1897 to 1935, and again in 1947 and 1949. Across these decades of production, a total of 58.6 million of these pieces were minted, each adhering to the weight and purity standards originally established by Napoleon for French coinage in 1803. Each coin contains 0.1867 troy ounces of pure gold within its overall weight. On the obverse, the coin displays an allegorical female figure representing Helvetia, the national personification of Switzerland, a design created by Fritz Landry. The reverse side features the traditional Swiss shield framed by oak leaves, alongside the denomination and the year of issue. Legible markings on the coin include the denomination 20 FR, the year, and the B mintmark representing the Bern Mint.
