About the Swiss Vreneli
The 20 Franc coins are 21 mm in diameter, weigh 6.45 grams and at 90% pure, contain .1845 ounces or 5.801 grams of pure gold. The coins were produced from 1897 - 1936, 1947 and 1949. All coins produced after 1936 are restrikes.
The Swiss Vreneli coin was minted in several sizes, including a 10 Franc, 20 Franc and even 100 Franc size. However, the 20 Franc coin is by far the most popular and most common. In fact, more thant 60 million Vreneli coins were minted by the Swiss government.
These coins are no longer produced, and therefore all coins are in circulated condition. Switzerland stopped issuing gold coins after the country went off of the gold standard, and the country has not issued a legal tender gold coin since then. Although famous for its bullion products, almost all gold available from Switzerland is in the form of bars issued by private refineries.
These coins were minted in a decentralized manner, meaning that a number of different mints were responsible for issuing the coins. Though primarily minted in Bern, some were also minted in Paris and Strasbourg.
Design of the Swiss Vreneli Coin
Each Vreneli gold coin Depicts an image of a woman "Swiss Miss" on the front, with the Swiss Alps in the background. As a result, sometimes the the Vreneli coins are colloquially called "Swiss Miss" coins. The reverse of the coins feature the Swiss Cross with an oak wreath surrounding it.
The Swiss Vreneli has a face value of 20 CHF. Each coin comes in a plastic slip.
Why Buy Swiss Vrenelis?
Swiss Vreneli gold coins are popular with European gold investors, along with some of the other European gold coins. These include the British Sovereign, the French Rooster, the French Napoleon and the Dutch Guilder. Traditionally, the European gold coins were made in smaller denominations of between 5 and 8 grams of gold.
This reduced size makes the coins more affordable, and as a result, many gold investors in Europe build a strategy of purchasing 1-2 Vrenelis or other similar European gold coins each month in order to build up a gold portfolio over time. These coins are also very well known throughout Europe, and therefore you can sell Vrenelis easily if you wish to liquidate a portion of your portfolio.
