Description: The Swiss 20 Francs Vreneli gold coins were produced from 1897-1936 when production ceased due to the onset of the Great Depression. However, restrikes of this coin were later issued in 1947 and 1949. The name Helvetia, the female national personification of Switzerland, dates back to Roman times. Vreneli is the informal name used to refer to the range of legal tender gold coins which exist in three denominations: 10, 20, and 100 francs. The name “Vreneli” was attributed to the female head by Neuchâtel medalist Fritz Ulisse Landry.The obverse of the Swiss Vreneli depicts the bust of a young woman, the charming “Swiss Miss”, with a bridal hairstyle. Her collar is decorated with Edelweiss, a wooly flower with star-shaped petals. Behind her, the majestic Swiss Alps fill the background. The top of the coin features the inscription "HELVETIA" and the engraver’s signature "F. LANDRY" appears at the bottom right.The reverse showcases the Swiss Coat of Arms placed on branches of oak. The denomination, "20 FR", borders the central design. At the bottom, the date and mintmark B (Bern) appear.
