Product Details

The Swiss Helvetia gold coin, minted between 1897 and 1949, represents a quintessential piece of European numismatic history and Swiss craftsmanship. Known for its iconic design and investment potential, this gold 20 francs piece commands respect both from collectors and investors alike. Named after Helvetia, the national personification of Switzerland, these vintage coins are a testament to the country's commitment to fine artisanal work and monetary stability, and provide a store of wealth that can endure through generations.

This exquisite Swiss gold piece is composed of .900 fine gold, making it a practical and beautiful addition to any investment portfolio. The obverse of the coin features a charming portrayal of Helvetia, personified as a serene and determined young woman with braided hair, gazing into the distance over a background of Alpine mountains. The reverse presents the Swiss shield, adorned with oak branches and encircled by the coin's denomination, adding both a touch of botanical elegance and national pride. The engravings are the work of Fritz Landry, whose artwork celebrates Swiss heritage and offers a stunning visual narrative of the era.

The craftsmanship of the 20 francs piece reflects the meticulous minting processes of the Swiss Mint, renowned for producing coins of exceptional purity and beauty. Its gold content combines the allure of precious metals with historical reverence, making this coin indispensable for numismatists and precious metal investors targeting historical EU currency pieces.

Having circulated broadly in its time, the Swiss Helvetia also holds historical intrigue. It served as a pillar of monetary stability across Europe, playing a significant role in economic history. The Swiss gold coin's unique association with the country's stable economy during periods of continental upheaval underscores its importance and ensures its demand among diversified investors seeking global economic anchors.

Offering compact storage and high liquidity, this gold piece appeals to new buyers seeing the long-term value and to seasoned collectors drawn to its storied past. With its charming, artistic elements and integration of monetary history, it offers a classic portrayal of Swiss nationhood. Whether you're enhancing a collection or seeking a reliable investment, the Swiss Helvetia gold 20 francs promises lasting value and charm.

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

Ordered a variety of different products and found the vintage pieces to be of exceptional quality and as advertised. Everything was mailed discreetly, well packaged, and arrived in no time. I've bought from all the big vendors and find Bullion Standard to be the best value. We'll keep coming back!

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
