Pickup available at 888 Bullion
Usually ready in 24 hours
The Gold 20 Swiss Franc coin, commonly known as the Swiss Vreneli, is one of Switzerland's most recognisable historic gold coins. Produced by the Federal Mint in Bern between 1897 and 1949, each coin is struck in 900 fine gold and contains approximately 5.81 grams of pure gold. Its internationally recognised design, historic European origins, and compact format make the Vreneli a popular choice for both bullion investors and world coin collectors. As qualifying investment gold, it is VAT-free.
Unless a specific year is stated in the product title, the coin supplied may be selected from available dates within the 1897–1949 Vreneli series. As historic bullion coins, examples may display light marks, surface wear, or toning consistent with age — these do not affect the coin's stated gold content.
