1935 Gold 20 Franc Coin From Switzerland.
These coins contain 0.187 troy ounces of gold, and are sold as bullion coins at low premiums above the gold spot price.
The finish is uncirculated - this is not the grade.
This coin could be a restrike, from 1936 onwards they kept the same dies but didn't change the date each year. To distingush between a re-strike and original a letter 'L' can be seen to the left of the date if it was minted after 1936.
The Vreneli, Vrenelli or Helvetia Head coins were issued from 1897 until 1949, with some exceptions. Coins produced after 1936 are all restrikes - these coins have the mintmark 'L'.
The edge features engraved stars, with the lettering:
AD LEGEM ANNI MCMXXXI
The coin obverse features a female head with plaited hair, a garland of flowers (Edelweiss), with mountains behind, and the inscription HELVETIA above modelled by Fritz Ulisse Landry.
The reverse has a swiss cross on a more ornate shield superimposed on an oak branch with ribbons. The value 20 FR appears at the sides of the shield, and the date below. This type was issued from 1897 to 1935, then again in 1947 and 1949.
