History

The Swiss Helvetia 20 Francs Gold Coins have an interesting history. These coins were put into production in the early 1880s with an image of a crowned Helvetia. The coins in this listing dont have the crowned design, however, and they were issued from 1897 to 1935 and again from 1947 to 1949.
