The Swiss 20 Franc Helvetia/Vreneli is a superb bullion coin sometimes nicknamed “Swiss Miss.” The obverse features a classic profile of Vreneli, the revered “Swiss Miss” with the Swiss Alps in the distance. Cresting her head is the word “HELVETIA,” a reference to a Celtic tribe that originally inhabited Switzerland. Vreneli Swiss 20 Francs were minted at the Swiss National Mint in Bern between 1897 and 1936, in 1947 and in 1949 — and are fully backed by the Swiss government.
