Product Description:
Produced from 1897 to 1949, the Vreneli or Helvetia head coins were Switzerland's common currency and were established after the country's confederation in 1848. These coins followed the denomination of 20 Francs and metal purities set by Napoleon for France in 1803. these historical European Gold coins played a vital role as currency in their time, making surviving specimens in Uncirculated or Mint State condition relatively scarce today. These European coins offer benefits such as genuine scarcity, high demand, and profound historical significance.
