Switzerland Gold 20 Francs – Helvetia (1897-1949): product overview
The Swiss Vreneli portrait
The Vreneli name is associated with Fritz Ulysse Landry’s female portrait for Swiss gold coinage. The twenty-franc design began in 1897, and a ten-franc version followed in 1911. The shared portrait links the denominations, but each listing represents its own gold amount and collecting format.
