Historical Significance:

The Swiss 20 Franc Helvetia is a reminder of the historical transition of Swiss currency following the formation of the Swiss Confederation in 1848. Inspired by the French Franc, the Swiss Franc became the official currency of Switzerland, and by 1895, the Federal Council of Switzerland introduced the Helvetia design for the 20 Franc Gold coins, often affectionately referred to as “Vreneli”.

Benefits of European Gold Coins:

These Swiss 20 Francs Gold Coins are part of a larger tradition of European gold coins minted primarily from the early 1800s to the 1930s. Many of these coins were used in circulation, making well-preserved examples in Uncirculated or Mint State condition relatively scarce.
