The Swiss 20 Francs Vreneli gold coins were produced from 1897-1936, with restrikes issued in 1947 and 1949. The name Helvetia, the female national personification of Switzerland, dates back to Roman times. Vreneli is the informal name used to refer to the range of legal tender gold coins which exist in three denominations: 10, 20, and 100 francs. The name "Vreneli" was attributed to the female head by Neuchâtel medalist Fritz Ulisse Landry.
The obverse of the Swiss Vreneli depicts the bust of a young woman, known as the "Swiss Miss," with a bridal hairstyle. The charming design is adorned with Edelweiss, a wooly flower with star-shaped petals, on her collar. The majestic Swiss Alps fill the background, creating a picturesque scene. The top of the coin features the inscription "HELVETIA," while the engraver's signature "F. LANDRY" appears at the bottom right.
On the reverse side, you'll find the Swiss Coat of Arms placed on branches of oak. The denomination "20 FR" borders the central design, and at the bottom, the date and mintmark B (Bern) are displayed.
