In Swiss iconography, Helvetia is typically depicted as a female figure wearing a flowing dress and often adorned with a wreath or tiara. She is frequently shown holding a spear and a shield bearing the Swiss coat of arms, symbolizing the nation’s readiness to defend its independence and neutrality. From 1897 to 1935, and again in 1947 and 1949, Helvetia graced the 20 Francs Gold Coins of Switzerland. Now, 1925 20 Francs Swiss Gold Coins are available at JM Bullion.

On the obverse of 1925 20 Francs Swiss Gold Coins is a depiction of Helvetia. Her figure is shown here in left-profile relief. On the Swiss Vreneli gold coin, Helvetia’s portrait is accompanied by the word “HELVETIA” arched above her head, clearly identifying the national allegory.

The reverse of the 1925 Francs Swiss Gold Coin features the Swiss coat of arms, the denomination, and the year of minting, all surrounded by an ornate wreath of Alpine flowers, further emphasizing Swiss natural heritage.

Landry’s design for the Vreneli, created in 1895, was selected through a competition held by the Swiss Federal Mint. His portrayal of Helvetia struck a chord with the Swiss people and officials alike, capturing the essence of Swiss identity in a single, powerful image. The design featured a young woman with flowing hair adorned with edelweiss, representing the beauty and strength of the Swiss nation. This depiction of Helvetia would go on to grace Swiss gold coins for over half a century, becoming a symbol of Swiss quality and reliability in the world of finance and numismatics.

These 1925 20 Francs Swiss Gold Coins are available with protective plastic flips and arrive in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 20 Francs Swiss Gold Coin was issued by the Swiss Federal Mint for more than 50 years and became an icon of Switzerland in Europe and abroad.
