The Gold 10 Swiss Franc Coin, commonly known as the Swiss Vreneli, is a historic European gold coin produced by the Swiss Mint. Struck in 900 fine gold, the coin weighs approximately 3.23 grams and contains around 2.90 grams of pure gold. Its smaller size makes it an accessible entry point for investors and collectors looking to own historic Swiss gold. The 10 Franc denomination formed part of the wider Vreneli series alongside the better-known 20 Franc and 100 Franc gold coins.

The Helvetia Design

The obverse features the portrait of Helvetia, the national personification of Switzerland, shown against a backdrop of the Swiss Alps — a design by Fritz Ulysse Landry that has become closely associated with historic Swiss gold coinage. The reverse displays the 10 Franc denomination and Swiss national imagery.
