Swiss 20 Franc Gold Coin - An Elegant, Classic, and Beautiful Swiss Coin
The Swiss 20 Franc gold coin, also known as the Swiss 20 Franc Vreneli, is without doubt one of the world's most beautiful, elegant and classically designed Swiss gold coins. Since Switzerland has always backed its currency with gold, Switzerland has long been acknowledged as one of the most financially sound and influential countries in the world.
The Swiss gold coin most commonly known as the Swiss 20 Franc is a well-crafted and lovely piece that displays the profile of a Swiss woman, more commonly known as Vreneli, with braided hair, wearing flowers and facing left.
Above her head are the words "Helvetia", another common name for this particular coin. The opposite side of the coin displays the familiar Swiss shield over an oak branch that has been tied with ribbons and includes the denomination and the date.
The Swiss 20 Franc Gold coin was minted in Bern and consists of 90% gold. Altogether, 29 pieces were struck in 1879, a small cross imprinted in the center of the Swiss cross on the obverse side distinguishing these from others.
The coin, measuring 21 mm across, has been minted in various years, the most commonly known being:
- 1897 to 1916
- 1922
- 1925 to 1927
- 1930
- 1935
- 1945 to 1947
- 1949
When it comes to collecting or investing in Swiss gold coins, genuine Swiss gold coins are some of the most beautiful ever minted. The first-ever striking of gold coins in Switzerland occurred in about 1492, although the gold Swiss 20 Franc coins are the most famous and were issued in Switzerland from 1897 to 1935.

Excerpt: Ake A silver coin, the akche (Ottoman Turkish: ) was the chief monetary unit of the Ottoman Empire . Three ake s were equal to one para . One-hundred and twenty ake s equaled one kuru . Later the kuru became the main unit of account, replacing the ake . In 1843, the silver kuru was joined by the gold lira in a bimetallic system. The Suleiman Mosque in Istanbul is said to have cost 59 million ake when it was constructed in the 1550s. This amount is said to have equaled 700,000 ducats in gold (probably Venetian ).
