Historical Background

First minted at the Bern Mint in 1897, the Swiss 20 Franc Helvetia coins were produced until 1935, with additional issues struck in 1947 and 1949. Widely recognised and traded, these coins are commonly referred to as “Vreneli”, a popular nickname derived from the Helvetia figure.
