The Swiss 20 Francs Vreneli gold coin is one of the world's classic gold coins. Switzerland, neutral since its creation by the Congress of Vienna in 1815, has long been synonymous with stability and fiscal strength due to its practice of backing its currency with large quantities of gold. Since these coins are over 100 years old, their condition varies, and the minting techniques of the time were not as precise as today. As a result, the coins we offer have a tolerance of up to 1% for both weight and purity, which is standard for coins of this era.

According to the original specifications, each gold coin contains 5.806 grams of gold within a total weight of 6.45 grams, with a gold purity of 90%. Minor variations in weight and purity are to be expected due to the less advanced production techniques of the past and the wear and tear from these coins having circulated extensively over time. Given their age and usage, such deviations are considered normal. Coins falling within this 1% purity and weight tolerance are considered normal and will not be exchanged.

The obverse of this Swiss 20 Francs gold coin, considered by some as the loveliest of all Swiss coin designs, features a bust of a Vreneli, the charming 'Swiss Miss' of Swiss lore. Above her head appears the word 'HELVETIA',which is why this coin is also referred to as a Helvetia. The reverse of the coin features a Swiss shield over a background of an oak branch tied with ribbons.
